| Latest 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.
