Chronic pain is destructive to the mind, body and spirit. Usually friends, family, loved ones, fellow workers and sometimes even Doctors don't understand the suffering. They say, "it is just in his head" or "she is just looking for attention". Usually, nothing could be further from the truth. 

 Chronic pain is a defect in the mind body connection. It is a neurological condition, a malfunction of the bodys sensory system just as immune disorders are a malfunction of the bodys natural system to protect itself from invasion from foreign substances.

  The usual approach is to take pain killers. They never fix the problem and can cover it up only temporarily. With additional use, they become less effective and soon are useless.  Sometimes surgical procedures such as epidural injections, radiofrequenccy nucleoplasty, and many other procedures usually prove to offer only temporary relief. Failure to find an answer leads to complete distruction of the individual.  Surprisingly, simple techniques such as biofeedback, autogenics therapy in conjunction with normal nutritional intervention can provide permanent relief.
