The Pain and Performance Podcast Derrick Hines

Really cool episode today. This is our first case study episode where we talk with a recent patient at Acadiana Pain & Performance. Karl has an amazing story after experiencing hip pain for about 15 years after an injury in the service. Karl came in for treatment to help heal and restore his function. 
In this episode we dive into Karl's hip pain history, his treatment path and recovery. I hope that you'll learn and take a lot of information from Karl's case. 
It really goes through the treatment he received, the habits he built, the growth and changes he made in his life to resolve 15 years of hip pain in just six months! 
We also go into the mental health issues that come along with chronic pain along with: 
How cryotherapy and PEMF, Infrared can help healing.The power of sleepThe amazing healing power of the bodyThe Pain-Stress-Depression-Pain CycleHow Should you think about training and strengthening?For more information check out www.derrickhines.com and for patient opportunities please visit www.acadianapain.com

We often think about training our body or our muscles but on this episode you'll learn from Applied Neurology expert, Elisabeth Kristof, that we should really be training our nervous system.
Elisabeth is the owner of Brain-based Wellness an online platform designed to help you improve your nervous system function to better your health, healing and performance.
