The ASIPP Track will include Nick Knezevic, MD, PhD, presenting Atomic Secrets: Regenerative Medicine in Managing Chronic Pain. He commented, “ASIPP has a long-standing relationship with PAINWeek.

He continued, “Attendees will experience an emersion of emotional and intellectual experiences into the world of pain management. Don’t miss out!”

Johnathan Goree, MD, who will co-present East v. West: Who Should Hold the Needle First?, commented, “I am excited to again take part in PAINWeek, this time discussing back pain and ‘What’s next?’ I will debate Carrie Hyde, MD, a physician medical acupuncturist, and discuss our approaches to the low back pain patient, treatment philosophies, cost benefit analysis. Who’ll win the debate? Both attendees and patients!”
