21st Century Pain Solutions

Can chronic pain difficulties be affected by the culture in which we live and are constantly changing? They surely can. And they do! Today, Dr. Praveen Ganty joins us to talk about the different problems that modern society has when it comes to chronic pain. He includes topics such as overmedication, social stigmas, the cannabinoid system, and what can we do in our everyday life to deal with this pain and improve our quality of life. Dr.Ganty is a consultant in Pain Medicine and Anesthesiology, currently working at Allevio Pain Management, in Toronto. He trained in Anesthesiology in India and then re-trained in the United Kingdom, where he also completed a Fellowship in Chronic Pain, and was a consultant from 2010 to 2016, treating patients in chronic pain. He was also actively involved in research projects. His passion is to get patients off “the chemicals that treat pain, including opioids”, to encourage self-help, and to manage chronic pain through non-pharmacological methods.
