There is SO much focus on pain meds...
These days it seems like 0pi0ids are the only thing people want me to talk about.
People want to know who's side I'm on... am I pro or anti- 0pi0ids???
Well, sorry to disappoint... I'm somewhere in the middle.
There is research that shows pain meds can cause the nervous system to become more sensitive, which means that, yes, they can make pain worse...
But does that mean we should take them away and treat people with chronic pain like addicts? HELL NO.
Sure, something needed to be done about the overdoses that were a result of the 0pi0id epidemic, but the way it was actually handled only hurt the people who use them safely.
Honestly, it irritates me that everyone is so focused on0pi0ds.
Everyone is so focused on 0pi0ids because they're the ONLY thing doctors and patients *think* they have to address pain... and taking away the only thing away you're going to piss off some people.
People with chronic pain are not addicts. Most people with chronic pain don't even necessarily want 0pi0ids. They want to know why they hurt & solutions to address the pain.
0pi0ids are not the ONLY solution to address pain, despite what doctors think.
I believe 0pi0ids are a useful tool to be used on an as-needed basis, as part of a nervous system retraining toolbox.

ABOUT ME:
I'm Alissa Wolfe.
I'm a chronic pain specialist and the founder of the Chronic Pain Breakup Method. I help people who are fed up and frustrated with chronic pain retrain their nervous system so they can beat chronic pain and get their life back.
In other words, if you have chronic pain and are looking for a new and improved way to manage your pain with an approach based on neuroscience, I'm your girl.
I got out of the clinic and started my online chronic pain coaching business so I could provide that nervous system retraining piece that is missing from pain management in the health care system.
Empowering people with chronic pain is my calling. I wasn't okay knowing that my patient's with chronic pain had no one to turn to, no one who would help, and no one who would believe them.
I decided I would be that person, even if in the beginning I didn't know everything I needed to know to help them. I pushed myself to learn and I discovered that we were trying to treat the "tissue issue" when people with chronic pain have a nervous system "pain problem".
Changes in the nervous system were contributing to pain and yet no one was addressing those changes.
By adding this element of neuroscience and nervous system retraining to my treatment approach, clients and patients are getting better than ever.
