570: The Science of Trauma Recovery with Jamie Mustard

Some medical professionals feel it's more accurate to classify post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a neural injury (PTSI) – not a disorder. Dr. Eugene Lipov developed a local anesthesia treatment targeting the stellate ganglion in the bottom of the cervical spine. This treatment has been approved for chronic pain and is being used now for trauma with promising results. On this week's podcast, you'll learn from a success story patient:

• How trauma change our nervous system and brain activity
• Why a prolonged allostatic load (stress) can create a trauma-like injury in the body
• How trauma injuries can be visibly seen in FMRI scans
