Pain: A Multi-Prong Approach

Pain: A Multi-Prong Approach” is the presentation shared by Todd Born, ND, CNS at the December 9, 2020 Zoom meeting of the Silicon Valley Health Institute.

Pain is a common condition which sometimes can be disabling. As a result of attempts to control pain, there has been an unprecedented opioid crisis resulting hi deaths from overdoses. Many patients have been hospitalized for NSAID-related gastrointestinal complications.
