Heal Your Pain. Read This Book.

For millions of Americans, living with severe pain is part of everyday life. Standard medicine commonly offers relief through drugs, including over-the-counter and prescription pain medications. While often effective for short-term pain relief, these drugs are less useful for treating chronic pain since they lose effectiveness as your body builds a tolerance to them. Pain medications also come with a host of side effects, including disorientation, drowsiness, mental impairment, nausea, peptic ulcers, tinnitus, and addiction, as well as life-threatening conditions, such as heart attacks and strokes (Bextra, Celebrex, etc.).

While many would prefer non-drug options, much of the available information on alternative pain treatment is scattered, incomplete, self-serving, and in many instances, out-of-date—or was, until now! Professional health writers Sylvia Goldfarb, PhD, and Roberta W. Waddell have created Relieving Pain Naturally, a comprehensive guide to drug-free pain management. Written in clear, non-technical language, this up-to-date resource is designed for ease of use and quick accessibility.

Divided into two parts, Relieving Pain Naturally begins by examining 37 of the most common chronic pain-related conditions, from Achilles Tendonitis to Ulcerative Colitis. Each painful condition is explained, and its alternative treatments listed. Part Two discusses 27 drug-free therapies. These entries include both conventional and alternative treatments such as Acupuncture, Biofeedback, Heat/Cold Therapy, Hypnosis, Nutrition, and Oxygen Therapy. Also included are clinical studies and cautions where applicable. A comprehensive resource guide provides a list of groups and professional organizations that can help you find an appropriate therapist in your area.

For years, millions of people have longed for safe, side-effect-free treatment for chronic pain, but have been unsure how to take that first step towards greater health. Now, Relieving Pain Naturally provides a reliable starting point.
