The Waismann Method‘s very own Dr. Lowenstein was interviewed on The Fix, on the topic, “How Do You Handle Pain Relief If You’re Concerned About Addiction?”
Excerpt: “A responsible and thorough physician should assess each patient individually,” says Dr. Michael Lowenstein, medical director of the Waismann Method (an accelerated detox method) and pain management specialist. “If opioid addiction and or dependence was an issue in the past, it is very likely the patient is predisposed to relapsing if opioids are prescribed. In those cases, alternative non-opioid painkillers [like anti-convulsants for nerve pain] are preferred if possible.”
