You probably don’t know that opioids naturally occur in our bodies, and are used to respond to normal pain. In this episode of Checkup from the Neck-Up, host Dr. Rich O’Neill welcomes Dr. Brian Johnson, retired director of the Addiction Medicine Program at SUNY-Upstate, who tells us how and why taking opioid medications almost always increases chronic pain, risks addiction, and what you can do about it. Checkup From the Neck-Up is a new monthly show on Community FM on topics all about our mental and physical health.
