Synopsis

The experience of pain, and how pain is cured, is the subject of much current research. With practical advice on treating and relieving pain, this guide enables readers to tap into an array of pain relief and pain control therapies. The guide opens with a definition of pain, our understanding of what it is, and how it affects the body's major systems. This is followed by an extensive section on the theories underpinning different alternative and conventional approaches to pain relief. Both physical therapies, such as yoga and t'ai chi, and psychotherapies, including visualization and counselling, are covered. These are cross-referenced to the third section, which explores different types of pain. Organized by parts of the body, this book offers an at-a-glance overview of selected therapies that have been found to be effective for specific problems. Clearly written and illustrated, the guide presents a range of options that may help readers to alleviate or even overcome chronic pain, whatever its cause.
