Summary "Addresses the root of pain. Since pain is literally a product of the brain, which announces it after being warned by a small army of nocioceptors stationed throughout the body, it is also open to glitches in that process. Chronic pain often occurs when the brain "remembers" pain, even though the condition that caused it may have been dealt with"-- Provided by publisher.
