In this episode of the Clinician’s Brief Partner Podcast, host Dr. Beth is joined by pain management specialist Dr. Robin Downing to discuss her clinical approach to the OA patient, including how she evaluates inflammation, addresses chronic pain and sensitization, and integrates multiple therapeutic options into her management plan.
