Chronic Pain Needs Shared Expertise—not a Hero Clinician
Rethinking pain changes outcomes.
Treating tissues alone leaves people behind.
In this clinician-focused conversation, Mark Kargela flips the script with Pete Moore (Pain Toolkit) to unpack what modern, human-centered pain care looks like in real clinics.
You’ll learn:
- Why a tissue-only approach misses 10–30% of cases—and what to do instead
- Practical ways to “shut up and listen” to the story beneath the pain
- How stress, HPA-axis load, IBS/migraine, and sensitization intertwine with pain
- A workable “driving instructor” model for self-management and shared expertise
- How to use patient narratives to align biology with lived experience
- Education that actually lands—with patients and with students/colleagues
- Where AI/tech can help (and where it can de-humanize care)
If you’re ready to move beyond procedures and protocols toward care that restores function and confidence, this episode is for you. Subscribe for more evidence-aware, practical conversations.
