About this item

Persistent pain affects one-fifth of adults in the U.S., according to a National Health Interview Survey. But those burning pains or stabbing pinches that seemingly come out of nowhere and plague day-to-day life are sending out an important warning signal. Something needs to change -- now. Author Ya-Ling Liou, DC, sheds light on why pain develops, how to make it stop, and how to keep in from reoccurring in her new book, Every Body's Guide to Everyday Pain (Return to Health Press, 2015) . Liou warns that people need to take action when pain first flares up, before it becomes entrenched.Liou applies her 20 year's experience as both a chiropractic physician and teacher to transform complicated anatomical processes into easily understood concepts. Using cartoon-style illustrations and accessible analogies, she helps readers grasp the interplay between mechanical, chemical and emotional causes of pain.
