Aging Doesn’t Have To Be Painful

Most people believe that aging and pain go hand-in hand. In fact, 1 in 5 adults experience chronic pain, according to the CDC. So, is pain inevitable?

Here to explain why that doesn’t have to be the case is Dr. Ankur Patel, an interventional pain physician at Novant Health. In this episode, Patel explains how you can prevent pain as you age, and address pain if you’re already experiencing it. Spoiler alert: If medical intervention is needed, it’s usually considered minimally invasive these days.
