Developed by: The Chronic Pain Centre of Excellence for Canadian Veterans.
Summary: This podcast covers all aspects of chronic pain by presenting evidence-based information that provides better insight into chronic pain. Recent Government of Canada research found that Veterans are twice as likely to suffer from chronic pain compared to others in the Canadian population. We aim to investigate how this impacts Veterans, and their families. We explore topics such cannabis and psychedelics, and do they help treat chronic pain? We also investigate back surgery, military identity and what military and professional athletes have in common with identity. The evidence-based information on the show will help Veterans, clinicians, researchers, and anyone suffering from chronic pain. It is a 360-degree approach to education on chronic pain.

Summary: Sufferers of chronic pain have long been told it's all in their head. We now know that's not true. This series looks at why doctors are playing catch-up on chronic pain conditions like endometriosis, migraine and more – and what they have to do with Covid. For years people with conditions such as fibromyalgia, endometriosis, chronic fatigue or back pain – to name just a few – have been told the pain is all in their head.
