An estimated 70 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, yet very few doctors know how to treat it. Ann Berger, MD, is determined to change all that.

• helps readers better describe their pain to their doctors-improving diagnosis and treatment
• shows how self-help efforts and spirituality can make a powerful difference in pain control
• explains which prescription and over-the-counter medications relieve pain and how to take them
• reveals the important roles that complementary therapies-like imagery, hypnosis, and acupuncture-play in managing chronic pain
• shares stories based on hundreds of case histories of dramatic healing through unexpected routes

Dr. Berger believes that pain is a problem with a solution-if you know how to ask the right questions. Healing Pain is a compassionate guide to those often-difficult questions.
