As the country struggles with the opioid crisis, we're talking about pain management with a local expert.

As the state and the country struggle with the opioid crisis, there is a renewed public focus on the treatment of pain. We're talking with a top local expert about the full landscape of pain management - opioids, but also other methods of treatment - and how doctors balance risk and benefit. 

We're joined by Dr. Carlos Pino, medical director of the Center for Pain Medicine at the University of Vermont Medical Center.
