The Pain Rebel Podcast By Straight Shot Health

Welcome to the Pain Rebel Podcast by Straight Shot Health!

From calling out low value and harmful therapies to challenging common, but false, beliefs about pain, Dr. Cuccaro cuts through misinformation and misconceptions so clinicians can help their clients get better rather than settle for managing misery.

    Do We Really Need To Process Childhood Trauma To Heal From Chronic Pain?

    There's a common believe that in order to heal from chronic pain you must process your childhood trauma. Many clinicians strongly advocate that those with chronic pain should imagine your parents and express your anger by hitting pillows, hypnotically regress back to childhood events and replay them, or write letters to abusers. And these techniques can work. But are they really required? This and more is discussed by Dr. Kevin Cuccaro & Sharna Prasad DPT in this episode of Straight Shot Health.
