Chronic Pain : Out-of-the-box Treatments that Cure

This is a book written to reassure chronic pain patients/general public that no pain is too difficult to treat and that ALL pains are treatable. This in direct contrast to the prevailing scenario of general hopelessness about chronic pains which have to be managed rather than cured. Contemporary pain management comprises some very sophisticated treatments, which address various parts of the nervous system that have been historically assumed to be responsible for pain. Yet, neuropathic pains remain untreatable enigmas. Opioids have to be generously prescribed to cover the residual pains persisting after the neural interventions, culminating in an opioid crisis in the Western countries. However, this book describes a different approach, that all neuropathic pains are neuromyopathic with a major muscle pain component where the muscles are the final common factor in all chronic pains. This premise led to the innovation of a new system of pain management, which has been gratifyingly effective providing cures for many complicated conditions, which are considered to be extremely difficult. This book is all about this discovery that many types of chronic pain are curable and others easily manageable as taught to me, on the job, by my various patients who became my teachers. I am sharing here my journey, our learning, and our stories many from my point-of-view as I relive the learning experiences from one patient to the next, the close interactions, the relief seen in their eyes, and finally, some stories as directly shared by my patients-teachers, now turned writers! The concepts on pain described in this book are de novo developed at Ashirvad Institute for pain management and research and are so unique that doctors/ researchers would certainly like to read them--
