If you are one of the 100 million Americans living with chronic pain, there is hope.

In Living beyond Pain, a physician and a therapist offer a whole-person approach to pain management, addressing the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of pain and providing alternative strategies that don't rely on opioids. Through education, pain triumph stories, daily guided cognitive activity, and as-needed pain rescue techniques, you can reprogram your neurologic pathways, increase functioning, and experience improvement in your symptoms. If you suffer from pain, this book offers real, research-based hope that there are better days ahead.

With Living Beyond Pain, Linda Mintle and James Kribs have given us all three. At a time when our society is drowning in the quicksand of pain with few comprehensive offerings to provide trustworthy assistance, this book arrives, providing hope and confidence that pain no longer has to be the primary author of your story. For the pain sufferer who longs to flourish rather than merely survive, I can think of no better place to start."

We must eliminate this threat to Americans everywhere. There is a better way!"
