The sensation of pain has played an essential role in the evolution of life.

As life evolved to be more complex, the mechanisms of how pain is created and felt have also become more complex. While pain signaling is essential for the success of any species, humans are facing an epidemic of pathologic pain signaling that has no usefulness for survival: chronic pain.

This epidemic of chronic pain is creating the unnecessary suffering of millions of people. It costs millions of dollars to treat and prevents millions of people from working. Furthermore, the treatments offered by modern medicine (drugs and surgery) are not only ineffective but also cause more problems than they solve.

Dr. Hussey guides clients from around the world back to health by using the latest research and health-attaining strategies. In his downtime, he likes to be outdoors, play sports, read, write, and travel.
