What if a familiar tune could ease your pain or lift your spirits? At University Hospitals in Cleveland, music therapy is doing just that. Director Seneca Block shares how music reduces pain perception by 20%, working in harmony with traditional treatments. "We're here to make the person's experience better," he says. Music isn't just a distraction; it's a time-tested healer, tapping into brain chemistry to reshape emotions and reduce stress. From cancer patients to those with Alzheimer's, music bridges gaps that medication can't. The beat goes on, proving Apollo had it right all along: music heals.
