Dr. Jan Carstoniu, MD,FRCPC operates Headache and Pain Management in Toronto and has lots of information on the effects of these methods. Those who suffer from chronic pain also must deal with the emotional issues stemming from the pain as well as the lack of understanding shown by their families and health professionals. Go to www.mindbodytraining.org and start reading the series of articles called "What is Pain?" Very interesting stuff and it will provide some insight as to why a multi-factorial approach, including mind-body methods is so important.
