Hard to treat, and too often ignored, it can present in infinite ways. Yet while both patients and practitioners focus on fixing pain problems with drugs or procedures, it turns out we have tremendous agency in choosing how we respond. The brain \"creates\" pain, but it also has the extraordinary capacity to make it go away. \u003ci\u003eIt Doesn't Have to Hurt\u003c\/i\u003e shows exactly how. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Gupta covers conventional treatments, such as mobilization, exercise, analgesia, and treatment (MEAT); acupuncture; trigger point injections; and \"prehabilitation\" before operations, as well as more recent techniques such as mindfulness-based pain management (MBPM) and myofascial therapy. He shares how to make sense of all those over-the-counter pills, patches, and pain products, as well as drugs advertised on television or prescribed by your doctors. He addresses psychedelics, supplements, and CBD. And he highlights insights from some of the nation's leading pain scientists and specialists, plus stories of challenge and triumph over pain by those with lived experience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With expert guidance and a wealth of science-backed strategies, \u003ci\u003e It Doesn't Have to Hurt\u003c\/i\u003e is your ultimate resource for reclaiming your life from chronic pain and unlocking a future of lasting relief--starting today.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Sanjay Gupta is CNN's Emmy Award-winning chief medical correspondent and the host of the acclaimed podcast \u003ci\u003eChasing Life\u003c\/i\u003e (formerly \u003ci\u003eCoronavirus: Fact vs. Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e), America's go-to resource for expert advice on how to stay healthy and safe.
