Studies reveal that three out of ten people worldwide experience chronic pain. It is a condition that brings with it myriad problems at the physical, emotional, personal, familial, societal and occupational levels-making it a biopsychosocial phenomenon.
In this book, experienced clinicians Dr Vandana V. Prakash and Dr Mary Abraham uncover the mind-body connection of chronic pain and show us how its mental and social processes cannot be separated from the physical. Backed by their years of practice and using case studies, they explain the various relief strategies available for chronic pain-from pharmacological support and interventional procedures to dry needling, from physical and psychological therapies to complementary and alternative therapies.
Simple and informative, Managing Chronic Pain will help you understand and manage your symptoms better and regain control over your life.
