Your Injury Healed. Why Does It Still Hurt? | Greg Condie

Why can pain continue long after an injury has healed? In this episode of The Healthcare Revolution Podcast, Brad Powell sits down with Dr. Gregory Condie, DO, a board certified specialist in physical medicine, rehabilitation, and pain medicine, to explore the connection between chronic pain, trauma, and the nervous system. They discuss why clean scans do not always mean symptoms are gone, how a nervous system stuck in fight or flight can contribute to pain, muscle tension, poor sleep, and fear of movement, and why trauma and pain often need to be addressed together. Dr. Condie also explains the evidence around stellate ganglion blocks for PTSD, what these procedures may and may not do, and why they should be considered as part of a broader treatment plan rather than a single solution. The conversation also covers what a more complete recovery plan can look like, including trauma focused therapy, physical therapy, movement, sleep, and coordinated care. #ChronicPain #TraumaRecovery #PTSD #PainManagement #NervousSystem #PhysicalTherapy #MentalHealth #HealthcareRevolution
