One in five American adults suffer from chronic pain and it affects over a billion people globally. While consumers spend billions of dollars on over-the-counter and prescription remedies, the usual outcomes of standard pain management are dismal. So, why are pain sufferers told so often that they need to live with their pain?

Pain can impact every aspect of our lives from overall wellbeing and psychological health to economic and social welfare. Anxiety, depression, insomnia, and stress are four of the most common symptoms that accompany chronic pain--but all are actually treatable.

For decades, Dr. Karima Hirani achieved successful treatment for thousands of pain sufferers. What Your Doctor Didn't Tell You: How Complementary and Alternative Medicine Can Help Your Pain offers readers a less invasive, natural, integrative approach that can finally provide them with relief. Combining the most advanced therapies from alternative and complementary medicine, her book shows how pain sufferers can improve their quality of life, performance, and prevention--and much more including:
