"'Mayo Clinic Guide to Pain Relief' explains how pain develops, how it can become chronic and what you can do to free yourself from chronic pain's effects. The book is based on the take-charge pain management program at Mayo Clinic's Pain Rehabilitation Center that has helped thousands of people for over 40 years. Inside you'll find practical, easy-to-understand information to help you regain your function so that you can be more active, productive, and comfortable. This third edition of Mayo Clinic Guide to Pain Relief includes the latest information on pain science and chronic pain management, including: the brain's role in the experience of pain, how behaviors and beliefs affect pain, how to shift the focus away from pain and toward a focus on living well, the benefits and risks of medications, injections and other medical treatments, the role of pain specialists, pain clinics and pain rehabilitation programs, exercise as a key part of pain management, balance and moderation as key habit sustainers, the power of a positive approach. Use the thoroughly researched, effective, science-based methods contained here to start living better today."--From publisher.
