Garrett Salpeter: The Mind-Pain Connection, Electrical Stimulation Therapy, and Why We All Feel Pain Differently | EP 391

Did you know that pain is experienced differently by everyone?   In this episode of the Align podcast, Garrett and I chat about why an MRI scan may not show physicians and therapists everything they need to know about the source of chronic pain many patients experience. In fact, the psychological stressors we have within us could be just as much the culprit as something being physically and structurally wrong in the body. Garrett also explains how pain is something that is subjective and is tolerated differently by everyone, as we all separate psychological pain from physical pain differently.   Garrett Salpeter combined training in neuroscience and engineering to start NeuFit, a company at the nexus of neurology and fitness, dedicated to treating athletes and patients in the realization of fitness goals, effective rehabilitation, and improved overall health.   What we discuss:   02:18: What is electrical stimulation therapy? 10:10: What is pain? 19:07: Why does the pain feel different for everyone? 25:50: Is it possible to separate psychological pain from physical pain in the brain? 30:39: How do psychological stressors induce physical pain? 37:31: What methods does Garrett use and what are the starting points in the analysis? 40:09: What can the Neubie do that other tools can’t? 51:53: What are some stumble blocks that Garrett has learned along this journey? 57:42: What are the differences between each device?   To learn more about Garrett:   Website:
