Do you feel trapped by chronic pain? Do you avoid going places and doing things you once loved, because getting there simply hurts too much? If you are one of the estimated 50 million people who suffer with chronic pain, you know the negative impact it has on life. But now, with advances in our understanding of pain, relief is possible with self-care options that will minimize your dependence on narcotics and medical procedures.
