The repetitive grind and acute trauma endured by professional athletes often lead to chronic pain and a number of surgeries over the course of an athletic career. How is the practice of pain medicine evolving to minimize the effects of chronic pain for these athletes, and, in particular, what are the opportunities for innovation in delivering long-term results through minimally invasive, non-addictive, and safe methods of pain treatment?
In this episode, host Shravani Durbhakula, MD, is joined by John Michels, MD, a former first-round NFL draft choice and Super Bowl champion with the Green Bay Packers who turned to interventional pain medicine after an injury ended his football career.
