Serious pain is debilitating and conventional medicine doesn’t have all the answers – some sufferers are concerned about long-term dependence or side effects, while for others drugs simply can’t take the pain away. This book is intended to help you to yourself when you are in pain. It takes a comprehensive look at many types of pain relief, including acupressure, massage, exercise & hypnosis. It tells you about a variety of therapies and techniques that can ease chronic (long-term) pain for which conventional treatment does not have the answer. These approaches are not an alternative to orthodox treatment but are intended to be used in addition to it. This guide is divided into six chapters like diagnosis, massage, yoga and exercise, home remedies, relaxation and how your doctor can help.
