Reader Comments:

“I found Take Charge of Your Chronic Pain to be very comprehensive, easy to read, and a great handbook for patients with chronic pain. Dr. Abaci’s approach wonderfully includes both traditional and nontraditional methods, which can not only relieve pain but provide overall wellness. I would recommend this book to my patients and to our doctors training to become pain specialists.”
—Carol A. Warfield, MD, Lowenstein Professor of Anesthesia, Harvard Medical School

“Peter Abaci has learned the secrets of successful chronic pain management and put them into Take Charge of Your Chronic
Pain. Both pain sufferers and those who provide care for chronic pain patients can learn from his superb guide to contending with
chronic pain and all its facets. The book is an excellent companion-piece for patients entering into a chronic pain management
program.”
—John D. Loeser, MD, Professor Emeritus, Neurological
Surgery and Anesthesiology and Pain Management, University of Washington

“Dr. Abaci has written an informative and readable ‘how to’ book for patients with chronic pain, one that illustrates the power of the rehabilitation approach and the importance of patients taking an active role in their own recovery.
—Howard L. Fields, MD, PhD, Professor of Neurology; Director,
Wheeler Center for the Neurobiology of Addiction; Principal Investigator, Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Center

“I bought this book because my daughter was in a car accident 2 yrs ago & has been in chronic back pain ever since. Doctor after doctor has just given pain meds or muscle relaxers. Nothing helped. She went to a new dr. & he recommended she read this book & so I ordered one too. It sounds exactly like what she's been through. If you have chronic pain or know & love someone who does you
should definitely read this book & you will understand so much more.”

Great book on understanding and managing chronic pain--physical and emotional. Should eventually be a classic! Highly recommended!
