The Chronic Pain Management Sourcebook is a compassionate and comprehensive look at the management of chronic pain for people who suffer from chronic pain as well as their families. David Drum's well-reviewed sourcebook looks at the causes of chronic pain, and suggests a number of practical ways to manage it, cope with it, and live with it. Includes useful strategies for mitigating pain including meditation, distraction, stress reduction, visualization, social support, hypnosis, dietary changes, exercise and more. This is a useful and supportive book, with many tips you can use for managing chronic pain.
