What if chronic pain isn't simply something to silence—but a message your body is trying to send?
In this episode of the Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves sits down with Leigh Brandon, author of Beyond the Pain, functional medicine provider, manual therapist, and C.H.E.K practitioner, to explore why some people remain stuck in chronic pain despite medications, injections, exercises, or even surgery.
Leigh breaks chronic pain down into four potential root-cause categories:
Structural and biomechanical problems
Metabolic factors like nutrition, digestion, hormones, and inflammation
Nervous system dysregulation and sensitization
Emotional factors and trauma
They also discuss why pain can be protective rather than simply harmful, how the nervous system can remain hypersensitive after an injury has healed, and practical ways to start identifying patterns behind your own symptoms.
If you've been in pain for years and feel like you've already tried everything, this conversation offers a different framework for understanding what your body may be telling you.
