Pain Relief Without Opioids: A New Chapter in Surgery
“It's like it was great. My healing was so much faster than any other surgery I had before, because I didn't have to depend on something to kill my pain. My body naturally did it itself, so it was not that bad, it was actually. I'd recommend it to anybody.”
Imagine facing surgery without the looming fear of opioid addiction. In this eye-opening episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters', host Maria Shilaos dives into a groundbreaking approach to pain management that skips the opioids. She chats with Dr. Will Shakespeare, Intermountain Healthcare's Medical Director of surgical operations and anesthesiology, and Bill Evans, a patient who has experienced this innovative method firsthand. They share their stories and insights on how alternative pain control methods are changing the landscape of post-operative care.
With opioids often leading to addiction and other complications, finding new ways to manage pain is crucial. This episode explores how patients and doctors are working together to make informed decisions about healthcare, promoting healing through activity instead of medication. It’s not just a medical shift; it’s a movement towards a healthier, addiction-free recovery. Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the future of pain management, this episode offers valuable perspectives and hope.
