Distilling the wisdom of real experts on the matter of chronic painmore than a thousand people who have successfully overcome their disabilitiesthis guide to better health provides sound scientific information and practical techniques that enable sufferers of chronic pain to reverse conditions that have caused them years of misery. Especially valuable not only because the literature on chronic pain has remained scant and contradictory but also because medical doctors often treat chronic pain patients as people with "nothing really wrong," this self-help book offers proven alternatives for those who have visited physicians and don't know where to turn next. Out of findings based on the responses to a widespread survey of former chronic pain sufferers, Arthur C. Klein has constructed a five-step program to turn a life blighted daily by discomfort into one that's healthy and active. It includes overcoming isolation and despair; distinguishing between the myths that harm and the truths that heal; a bodymind recovery plan; implementing exercise and other self-healing strategies; and utilizing the helpful glossary of what works and what doesn't. Relief may be only a page away."
