Medical Expert's New Book Offers Help for Chronic Pain Sufferers
LAS VEGAS, Nevada (PRWEB) August 04, 2015 -- One of the nation’s leading experts in chronic pain management has scheduled a series of radio interviews to discuss his new book, The Pain Antidote, which provides strategies for people who suffer from chronic pain. Dr. Mel Pohl, Medical Director of Las Vegas Recovery Center’s Chronic Pain Treatment Program, wrote the book in conjunction with Katherine Ketcham, an author who specializes in writing about addiction. Subtitled “The Proven Program To Help You Stop Suffering From Chronic Pain. Avoid Addiction to Painkillers – and Reclaim Your Life,” the book addresses the underlying emotional issues and negative thought patterns that affect chronic pain. It helps people to discover how certain foods, exercise, meditation, and acupressure can reduce pain. The radio program dates include:

“My book guides chronic pain sufferers on a step-by-step journey that will lead them to a healthy, vibrant life,” Pohl said. “More than 100 million Americans suffer from chronic, persistent pain, which can make even simple activities like driving a car or even sitting at a desk a daunting task. We understand, and we want to give them the tools they need to manage their pain with traditional and alternative healing techniques. Through the book, and through the program at Las Vegas Recovery Treatment Center, we help people to understand that commonly prescribed painkillers can lead to dependence and quickly to addiction, perhaps even to overdose. We approach recovery in a holistic manner by not only focusing on physical wellbeing, but also on emotional, mental and spiritual health. ”
