The solution to chronic pain is within you.
Finally, there is hope for millions of Americans in recovery from chronic pain and addiction who want healing without the risks posed by opioid painkillers.
With its revolutionary approach to living fully with chronic pain rather than attempting to obliterate all pain by using ever-increasing doses of addictive drugs, this revised and updated edition of Dr. Mel Pohl’s award-winning book is filled with evidence-based suggestions for healing from chronic pain as a whole person, not a collection of symptoms.
The revised and updated A Day without Pain also includes:
- A new foreword by Claudia Black, Ph D.
- New expanded discussion of the brain and how it is affected by pain and suffering
- New vignettes to illustrate the principles of pain recovery (or pain treatment)
- New information on working with the emotional aspects of chronic pain
- Updated and most current data from LVRC chronic pain recovery program
