Where does chronic pain come from, and why doesn't it go away? Dr. Steven H.

And he has helped thousands of people reduce their pain and reclaim their lives. In Confronting Chronic Pain, Dr. Richeimer discusses what causes pain in such disorders as arthritis, cancer, fibromyalgia, chronic headache, and back pain - and describes how to get relief.
