Cupertino, CA (PRWEB) March 19, 2009 – Chronic pain worldwide is a problem of epidemic proportions. According to the American Pain Foundation, in the United States alone, chronic pain affects more people than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined.

With millions of people suffering from chronic pain worldwide, available treatments are clearly not working. And now it's been shown that medications being prescribed to help manage pain are contributing to drug abuse, addiction and health risks in pain sufferers.

In fact, the FDA recently informed drug manufacturers that certain drugs now require “Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies” to ensure that the benefits of using opioid drugs outweigh the risks of taking them. And the American Pain Society and the American Academy of Pain Medicine last month issued guidelines to clinicians about the use of opioid pain medications because of widespread concern about abuse and addiction.

"This situation must change or millions of people will continue to pay for treatments and drugs that will ultimately keep them in their pain", says author Professor/Dr. Brian A. Rothbart.

Clearly this tells us that the time has come to look for alternative and effective non-drug solutions to treat chronic pain. Fortunately for chronic muscle and joint pain sufferers, a previously unknown source of chronic musculoskeletal pain has been discovered, and a drug-free, permanent solution has been developed to eliminate it.

Prof/Dr. Brian A. Rothbart, internationally recognized chronic pain specialist, made this discovery over the course of his 40 years of research and clinical practice. He has written about his discovery and the therapy he developed to permanently eliminate chronic muscle and joint pain without drugs or surgery in his new book, Forever Free From Chronic Pain.

In his book, Prof/Dr Rothbart explains:

• Why current treatments for chronic neck, hip, knee and back pain aren’t working
• A solution to end chronic musculoskeletal pain - permanently
• How to determine if his innovative therapy will work for a chronic pain sufferer
• How, through advanced technology, a person’s body can heal itself for good.

Prof/Dr. Rothbart, a former chronic pain sufferer himself, has eliminated his own chronic pain using his innovative therapy, and helped hundreds of others do the same.
