“The chronic pain experience is wrought with pitfalls and missteps. In my 31-year journey, I’ve discovered that one needs a guide or two to help find the light. Dr. Richeimer’s Confronting Chronic Pain is one of those beacons. Comprehensive and enlightening, it covers the full chronic pain spectrum, including often overlooked aspects such as spirituality and family impact. Best of all, it offers real hope by embracing acceptance and self-care.”
