In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Lori Parel, a 70-year-old retired nurse who worked for 44 years while battling chronic pain from a car accident at age 24. After being told by multiple doctors to "learn to live with the pain," Lori shares how she went from taking a minimum of 8 Advil daily for 20 years to being completely medication-free through shockwave therapy and lifestyle changes.
Lori's story proves that age is just a number and that it's never too late to reclaim your active lifestyle and break free from chronic pain cycles.
