I spent about 30 years as a family physician providing a full range of family practice care. I treated countless people for pain. It wasn't until a few years ago that I learned what chronic pain really is and how best to treat it. Much of what I learned is reflected in this book.

I've learned that the research shows that opioids are NOT the most treatment for pain. They are less effective that a combination of ibuprofen and Acetaminophen. The evidence also shows that behavioral health and physical therapy are more effective than what the medical community can offer people living with chronic pain.

Cognitive-behavioral approaches and mindful practices are the most effective tools we have. This book will provide you with all you need to know to treat people in pain with the most powerful tools we have.

By using the material contained in this book you will help your clients live fuller, more active lives.
