For the more than 50 million people who suffer from chronic pain, the mainstream medical approach to pain management has followed the same formula.

Drawing from the latest peer-reviewed research to find the most effective treatments, nutritional interventions, and lifestyle changes to improve quality of life, Dr. Greger sheds light on overlooked, cost-effective solutions, including many that doctors never learn in medical school.
