Description

Find the holistic treatment that will work best for you based on your emotional type and specific pain condition

Provides an easy questionnaire to determine your emotional type and an interactive self-assessment for finding the right pain treatment for your condition

Explores mind-body treatments for many common pain conditions, including arthritis, back pain, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel, migraines, carpal tunnel, and PTSD

Reviews the scientific evidence in support of acupuncture, biofeedback, hypnosis, massage, chiropractic, yoga, herbs, and essential oils

Throughout history many healing traditions have focused on analgesia--the alleviation of pain--an area in which modern medicine provides few options beyond narcotics, steroids, and surgery. For those seeking drug- and surgery-free alternatives or complements to conventional pain management, the choices can be overwhelming. How do you know which method will work for you

In this guide to safe and effective natural therapies for acute and chronic pain, authors Marc S. Micozzi, M.D., Ph.D., and Sebhia Marie Dibra explain how your emotional boundary style--how you react to emotional, social, environmental, and physical stresses--affects which complementary treatments will work best for you. Providing an easy questionnaire to determine your emotional type and an interactive self-assessment for finding the right pain treatment for your condition, they explore the effectiveness of mind-body treatments for each emotional type and for many common pain disorders, including arthritis, back pain, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel, ulcer, migraine headaches, carpal tunnel, anxiety, PTSD, and other chronic pain conditions. They review the available research and scientific evidence in support of each therapy, suggesting only well-established, safe, and clinically proven alternative treatments, such as acupuncture, biofeedback, hypnosis, massage, chiropractic, yoga, herbs, and essential oils.

Approaching pain holistically, they reveal how pain should be understood as a dynamic condition--an interaction between mind and body as well as between patient and therapy--and how your emotional type is key to long-lasting and successful results.

Reviews

Overcoming Acute and Chronic Pain is one of the best books in its field to emerge in recent years. It breaks new ground--choosing a pain therapy based not just on ones medical diagnosis but also on ones emotional patterns. As Micozzi and Dibra show, this approach can have an enormous impact on a therapys effectiveness. If you or a loved one suffers from acute or chronic pain, or if you are a medical professional who deals with such, please pay attention to the wisdom of this important book. * Larry Dossey, M.D., author of One Mind *
This book is full of well-researched solutions that are helpful, healing, non-addicting, and get to the core of the issue, creating better health and relief for those that implement these time-tested solutions. * Brigitte Mars, author of Addiction-Free Naturally and The Sexual Herbal *
