Through her extensive experience with pain clinics, author Phyllis Berger--a chronic pain sufferer herself--realized that pain relief was highly dependent on stress factors. She found relief could be more rapidly achieved by blocking pain with electrical currents and acupuncture, relieving anxiety and releasing emotions, and increasing pain-free movements with exercises, especially enjoyable exercises that build strength and endurance.
Focusing on the brain and its complex chemical interactions and electrical circuitry, The Journey to Pain Relief provides solid information, advice, and treatment suggestions to empower both the chronic pain sufferer and the pain therapist. The author authoritatively describes ways to combine a wide range of treatments that tap into the body's inherent knowledge and ability to heal, increase exercise ability, stimulate the production of helpful chemical substances in the body, and encourage the positive attitudes that will bring many more patients to that often elusive destination of pain relief and control.

About the author

PHYLLIS BERGER, BSc, is a South Africa–based physiotherapist and acupuncturist and the author of The Journey to Pain Relief: A Hands-On Guide to Breakthroughs in Pain Treatment.

Berger contributed an article on pain management to the South African Journal of Physiotherapy in 2008. Her book was first published in South Africa in 2003 and released by Hunter House Publishers in 2007.

When she’s not writing, Berger works with pain clinics, applying a methodology that combines low-voltage electrical currents, acupuncture, exercise, and stress and anxiety management. A chronic pain sufferer who underwent a spinal fusion of the upper cervical vertebrae in 1992, she draws directly on that experience in her approach to treatment.

Phyllis lives in South Africa.
