Relieving Pain Naturally: Safe and Effective Alternative Approaches to Treating and Overcoming Chronic Pain

This is a comprehensive guide to drug-free pain management using supplements, herbs, homeopathy, diet, massage and more. For millions of people, severe pain is a fact of everyday life. Standard medicine commonly offers relief through drug therapies. While often effective, these medications come with a host of side effects, from drowsiness to addiction. While many sufferers would prefer non-drug options, much of the available information on alternative pain treatment is scattered, incomplete and, in many instances, out-of-date - or it was, until now. Professional health writers, Dr. Sylvia Goldfarb and Roberta Waddel have designed "Relieving Pain Naturally" to be a comprehensive guide to drug-free pain management. Part One examines over forty of the most common chronic pain-related conditions, from abdominal pain to tendonitis. Each disorder is explained and its alternative pain treatments detailed. Part Two offers twenty-seven drug-free therapies, including both conventional treatments and alternative modalities, such as acupuncture, biofeedback, heat and cold therapy, hypnosis, nutrition and oxygen therapy.

For years, millions of pain sufferers have longed for a safe, side effect-free treatment for chronic pain. Now, "Relieving Pain Naturally" provides a reliable starting point.
