Information can change our life and sometimes we do not have all the information to help us do what we want. This book is written with the intention of helping you to reduce or eliminate your physical or emotional pain. If surgery, medication and all the other interventions did not help, you might consider a new ap- proach and then maybe you will be able to manage or get rid of your pain (please consult with your doctor). This book is all about interventions that have been around for at least 30 years, but you might not know about them. You can learn something new that you didn’t know before, or learn something about yourself, your behavior, habits and beliefs that you were not aware of or you have overlooked (many thing in life are done automatically). When you bring to awareness what you need to know, it could help you in pain reduction or pain relief. I hope when you know them clearly, they can help you eliminate or at least reduce your pain. This information could help you. Information that can lead to a drastic change in your life. Unfortunately, information alone can not change life automatically, it can only work if you participate and take action and put them to use for your advantage. I thank you for your time, being open-minded and reading this book. May you get great results from reading it. “The Neuroscience of Chronic Pain Relief” is about giving you a positive result. Do with it what you will, it is all about you and your pain. I can only celebrate your success. I can only affect the people who want to change and I hope you are one of them.

Our website is www.nlpsuccesscoaches.com DISCLAIMER This is a collection of information from neuroscientists, psychologists and positive thinkers. It is intended to inform you what experts think of chronic pain. The medical terminology is hard to understand for some people that is why I have written this book with very simple words to be easy to understand for everyone. This Book is not to be taken as professional advice or as a substitute for professional advice. Please always consult with your physician and pain specialists. I suggest you ask them to read this book for additional information. I hope you will be able to do your part to reduce or eliminate your pain. My aim is for you to learn and understand what experts say about chronic pain. Chronic pain may result from an underlying disease or health condition, an injury, medical treatment (such as surgery), in- flammation, or a problem in the nervous system (in which case it is called neuropathic pain), and in some cases it may be caused by emotional reasons or the cause may be unknown. Costs of Chronic pain and statistics Pain can affect quality of life, productivity, efficiency, mood, personali- ty and it may be accompanied by difficulty in moving around, dis- turbed sleep, anxiety, depression, and other problems. More than 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain at a cost of around $600 billion a year in medical treatments and lost productivity. Study shows that 24% of the chronic pain are back pain.14% shoulder, 14% neck pain and 4% face pain. Worldwide about 1/4 of people have chronic pain. National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) shows that 11.2 percent of American adults (25.3 million people) have experienced some form of pain every day for the past three months. The study also found that — 17.6 percent of American adults — suffer from "severe pain.” According to the NIH analysis, 17.7 percent of chronic pain patients seeking out complementary treatments used natural products, 10.9 percent turned to deep breathing, and 10.1 percent practiced yoga, tai chi, or qi gong. Only 38.7 percent of people with chronic pain look for alternative ways to get rid of their pain. There are two types of people with chronic pain. Some people become passive and give up hope and just try their best with pain killers. There are a few that are very active and look for solutions to get rid of their pain or to reduce their pain. My guess is you are the active person since you are reading this book, you are searching for a cure or solutions. Majority of the people with chronic pain don’t think or seek for a ‘cure’, but they just want to treat and manage the pain in order to make their day-to-day lives as normal as possible.
