What if your chronic pain has nothing to do with where it hurts? Dr. Stephen Hussey — chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner and author of Pain Sense — returns to the show to explain why most chronic pain is a brain problem, not a tissue problem, and what that means for the millions of people stuck in a cycle of pain medication that never actually works.

On this episode we covered:

• Why people born without the ability to feel pain don't live very long
• The two distinct pathways through which pain becomes chronic
• The fascinating World War II study that proved your interpretation of pain changes how much of it you actually feel
• Why opioids can never truly fix chronic pain — and the real reason they're so addictive
• How past emotional trauma can wire your brain to produce pain signals with zero physical damage occurring in the body
• The body voltage theory: what inflammation, oxidative stress and acidity all have in common
