In this episode of Outsmart Your Genes, Dr. Jeremy Koenig sits down with Dr. Jason Siefferman, a triple board-certified physician specializing in physical medicine, rehabilitation, interventional pain medicine, and headache medicine. As the founder and medical director of Manhattan Pain Medicine, Dr. Siefferman shares his expertise in diagnosing and treating complex pain conditions, particularly in patients with hypermobility spectrum disorders and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). He discusses his unique journey from studying music to medicine, highlighting the parallels between the two disciplines in collaboration and patient care. Dr. Siefferman delves into the challenges of treating chronic pain, the importance of understanding its root causes, and how regenerative medicine, including prolotherapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, is revolutionizing care for hypermobility-related pain. He also explores the role of genetics in precision medicine, the potential of AI in diagnostics, and his vision for advancing research in pain management. Tune in for an insightful discussion on redefining chronic pain treatment and integrating genetic insights into patient care.
