This is The Painful Pursuit and I’m your host, Dr. Carl Nottoli. We are on a mission to stop the rise of chronic pain. Fifty million Americans reported pain every day or nearly every day in the previous six months. The biggest cause of chronic pain is due to an incomplete diagnosis before treatment is delivered. This will be a place to introduce providers who will share their painful pursuit and how it now helps them heal others. We will also share patient stories and health related topics to more successfully help you navigate the healthcare system. I'm happy you've found us.
