Motivation For A Healthy Lifestyle

Susan Nowrouzi, Registered Dietitian at Baptist Hospital of Miami, says pain is the greatest motivation for patients with back pain: "These patients have a lot of pain and they want to be pain free and not relying on medication. When I tap into that motivation, I find they connect better." Dr. Ronald Tolchin, Medical Director at Baptist Center for Spine Care, explains lifestyle modification is probably the hardest thing in people, so he recommends doing small changes.
