Are Natural Pain Relievers Right for You?

Approximately 100 million U.S. adults suffer from some kind of chronic pain condition; and it's a safe bet that you're one of them. Whether you've got an achey back or headache that just won't quit, sometimes poppin' pills is not what you had in mind. If you're someone who isn't keen on taking medication for every ache and pain, then it may be time to think about a more natural approach. In this episode, host Kathryn Zox will interview Practitioner of Integrative Pain Management, Dr. Carole Agin from Long Island, New York. We'll explore the ins and outs of integrative pain medicine including the role of acupuncture, topical treatments, and other natural remedies for pain relief.
