Default Paradigm shift needed in way chronic pain is managed: McMaster scientist

"The first step, he said, is "to recognize pain as a disease." He argues chronic pain has been assigned a "secondary role." For example, when a patient says their knee hurts, their doctor focuses on joint disease rather than finding a means to treat their chronic pain."
