Welcome to the Pain Rebel Podcast by Straight Shot Health! This is the podcast for those frustrated with the current ‘pain management’ system but are struggling to find the path to create a new, better, future for themselves or their clients.
Hosted by Dr. Kevin Cuccaro, a fellowship trained pain specialist and health system consultant disruptor, each episode provides straightforward, honest information on pain and pain treatment while providing methods of how to understand and apply the science of pain effectively.
