Chronic Pain: Complementary Therapies and Prevention as Alternatives to Pain Meds

from Chrisy Trudeau 
Managing Editor, Epoch Health

America is grappling with a chronic pain epidemic as over 50 million Americans endure ongoing discomfort, often presented with limited treatment options. Many of these options are pharmacological, known to carry side effects and provide only modest relief.

Dr. Karima Hirani, a board-certified family medicine doctor with over two decades of experience in integrative and alternative medicine, specializing in pain treatment for over a decade, seeks to offer alternative approaches.
