Description
Feel better and treat chronic pain with this groundbreaking guide to pain management from the bestselling author of How Not to Die.
It's estimated that nearly 30% of people suffer from chronic pain. Too often, mainstream medical treatments prioritise highly addictive prescription pain medications and invasive procedures that can come with side effects and even make your situation worse. In How Not to Hurt, bestselling author and founder of NutritionFacts.org, Dr Michael Greger advocates for a new approach to treating pain.
Using the latest peer-reviewed research, Dr Greger sheds light on overlooked, cost-effective solutions to pain management. He explains how chronic pain functions in the body, describing what causes pain signals to 'misfire' and the importance of managing emotional distress. Learn about the seven pain-fighting foods to incorporate into your diet and find solutions to the most common health conditions that lead to chronic pain syndrome, including arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraines and more.
Packed with practical strategies backed by cutting-edge research, How Not to Hurt uses proven interventions to help you improve the quality of your lives and even live pain-free.
