Dr David Hanscom - Solutions for anxiety and chronic pain

Dr David Hanscom was an orthopedic complex spinal deformity surgeon in Seattle WA for 32 years. He quit his surgical practice in 2019 to focus on teaching people how to break loose from the grip of chronic mental and physical pain, with and without surgery. Having dealt with with his own severe chronic pain for 15 years he is passionate about finding better answers to optimise his patients’ outcomes and gain a better understanding of the root cause of chronic, mental and physical pain. In this podcast:

  • Dr Hanscom explains how anxiety is the result of the body’s reaction to a threat or stress

  • How chronic pain is generated from sustained exposure to a threat

  • Why intrusive or repressed thoughts and emotions are as serious as physical threats.
