A comprehensive, impeccably researched debut handbook that focuses on alternative treatments for chronic pain. ...its all-embracing approach makes it suitable for laymen and health care providers alike. Kirkus Reviews Cindy Perlin has written a valuable guide to the understanding and treatment of chronic pain. The Truth About Chronic Pain Treatments is itself a valuable treatment- a marvelous compendium that will improve the wellbeing of anyone facing this very common problem. Perlin speaks in plain language with great authority and wisdom. - Larry Dossey, MD, author of ONE MIND: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It Matters and Healing Words Exposes how common evaluations and treatments may not be in the best interest of the patient suffering with persistent pain. Institutional bias often favors potentially harmful and expensive interventions whilst ignoring or trivializing those that are essentially safe and may be as or more effective. Ms. Perlin chronicles patients who have been helped and encourages you to investigate alternative treatments so that you too may avoid needless expense and suffering. - Norman Marcus, MD, author of End Back Pain Forever Cindy Perlin's book reveals important and significant information about the many effective treatments for pain other than a pill prescribed by your doctor. I know from my experience as a surgeon that there are many treatments, from emotional to physical, which can heal the cause and relieve resulting pain. This book is a wonderful resource for those in need of relief from pain. -Bernie Siegel, MD, author of Love, Medicine and Miracles and The Art of Healing The Truth about Chronic Pain Treatments shows how pharmaceuticals do not do the job.

All patients dealing with pain and all practitioners working with people in pain should read this book. Read this book before taking pain medications--it may save your life. -Erik Peper, President, Biofeedback Foundation of Europe, author of Make Health Happen I highly recommend this book to all my chronic pain patients so they can become more informed of the treatment options that are out there for them. - John Garzione, PT, DPT, Past President Pain Management Special Interest Group, American Physical Therapy Association.

Find out why and what to do about it in this authoritative work. - Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Goddesses Never Age: The Secret Prescription for Radiance, Vitality, and Wellbeing, Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, and The Wisdom of Menopause Very interesting and thought-provoking... a great compendium that people interested in integrative pain management should be aware of. - Bob Twillman, Ph.D., FAPM Executive Director, Academy of Integrative Pain Management (formerly the American Academy of Pain Management) There are so many treatment options available to us now that this book is a good resource for new patients who don't know where to start when deciding with their pain care team what they will do to help themselves first. - Barby Ingle, President, International Pain Foundation
