Synopsis
Pain can be devastating. It can lead to depression, loss of sleep, tension in the family and a reduction of productive hours on the job. Now, Dr. Richard A. Sternbach, director of the Pain Treatment Center at the Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation, presents a dramatic easy-to-follow program that he has found can help you take control of your pain -- and take control of your life -- while significantly reducing the amount of medication you may need. He targets the specific causes of pain -- sports injuries, back problems, migraines, arthritis and more -- and offers specific techniques to combat them, including:
* A comprehensive conditioning plan
* Prescription analgesics and nonprescription alternatives
* Proven relaxation exercises such as biofeedback
* Positive reinforcement from friends and family
* A psychological training program for changing the way you confront pain
* Plus, a complete chapter on how to manage cancer pain, and an appendix listing the major pain treatment centers across the country.
"Advice that might be more important than your medicine cabinet when it comes to living with pain."

Reviews
Sternbach, a researcher and program director at the Pain Treatment Center of California's Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation, describes a plan for mastering pain, composed of acceptance, goal-setting, constructive anger, medication control, fitness, relaxation activity, pace, positive reinforcement from loved ones, openness with one's physician, empathy, and hope. A moderate, practical approach to a widespread problem (some 12 percent of American adults suffer from chronic physical pain), this book will appeal to general readers and is highly recommended for consumer health and patient education collections.
