Recent
Pain Information
We make every effort to provide
up-to-date information about
chronic pain management and
related articles for our
website visitors. Our bias
is toward non-narcotic approaches
which emphasize the immense
capacity of our brain and
spinal cord (nervous system)
has in moderating and modulating
and in some instances entirely
eliminating our awareness
and experience (ie, athletes
in the heat of competition
or self-hypnosis) of physical
and emotional pain. there
is much evidence in science
to warrant such an approach.
In some cases, summaries
of research with reference
citations will be provided.
This area will be updated
periodically.
