"This is a collaborative effort to address integrative pain medicine, involving authors from a variety of complementary and alternative medicine backgrounds. ... is designed to be accessible for a wide audience, including healthcare consumers (patients) and providers (clinicians). ... valuable addition to the bookshelf of any healthcare provider practicing in the field of pain management. ... Pain management clinicians will likely find this book to be of particular value as they consider expanding their scope of services to include a broader array of CAM techniques." (Felise S. Zollman, Doody's Review Service, July, 2008)

"Andrew Weil praises this book as the 'definitive guide to integrative pain management.' ... Clearly, the subject is appealing. ... This multiauthored volume covers most relevant topics, from basic pain concepts to legal issues. Its main emphasis is a broad outline of how alternative treatments like meditation, hypnotherapy, tai chi, yoga, osteopathy, chiropractic, massage, and herbal medicines might help individuals with pain."
