Electrical currents and acupuncture release the body's natural pain relievers according a book written by Phyllis Berger.

The book describes how to empower chronic pain suffers and their practitioners by using an innovative pain management approach that taps into the body's inherent ability to heal. Berger, has been involved with pain management techniques since 1994 and is a physiotherapist and acupuncturist. She discovered that pain relief is dependent on stress factors, and that relief could be more rapidly achieved by relieving anxiety, using electrical currents and acupuncture and increasing pain-free movements with exercises that are enjoyable and build strength and endurance.

The book focuses on the brain and its complex chemical interactions and electircal circuitry. It combines various treatments that help increase exercise ability and encourage positive attitudes that ultimately bring patients to a state of pain relief and control. It contains the latest research on newly developed electrical currents that affect the brain and naturally release substances that relieve pain and reduce inflammation in the body.

The author claims that a patient's state of mind determines pain management and their desire to get well, and their beliefs and expectations. Many of the cutting edge and little known methods in this book can assist greater numbers of patients in achieving pain control.
