PPDA Patient Stories: Lee Canter

After over seven years of being almost bedridden, seeing numerous medical professionals and getting no help from traditional biomedical treatments, Lee Canter was cured of his symptoms using a psychophysiologic treatment approach. Lee began his professional career as a clinical social worker. He then became a highly successful entrepreneur. His passion is to use his professional expertise and his personal experience to help spread the word on the use of a psychophysiologic treatment approach to other chronic pain sufferers, especially those with migraine symptoms.

David Clarke MD and Lee Cantor discuss psychophysiologic disorders, which are conditions characterized by neuroanatomic changes in the brain that cause physical symptoms in the body. They share their personal experiences and explain how stress and psychological factors can contribute to these disorders. They emphasize the importance of understanding the role of the brain in pain and the need to address underlying stressors. They also discuss various self-care measures, such as meditation and expressive writing, that can help manage symptoms and promote recovery.
