Providence Publishing: Curing Chronic Pain

In 2004, Dr. Robert T. Cochran published Understanding Chronic Pain, a ground-breaking work exploring the links between pain, depression, childhood trauma, substance abuse, and bipolar disease. A companion to that work, Curing Chronic Pain demonstrates the advancements Cochran has made in successfully treating patients suffering from pain. He has found that chronic pain can be alleviated with the careful application of certain drugs, even those in the controversial opiate class. In many cases, Cochran says, “miraculous cures have been achieved.” Presented in a conversational, anecdotal format, this book examines the specific experiences of chronic pain patients under Cochran’s supervision. As a reader you will be struck by Cochran’s warmth, compassion, intellect, and willingness to confront the complicated issues surrounding treatment. There is hope in Curing Chronic Pain.

“Readers will find in these stories of people suffering from chronic painful illnesses a compassionate and caring physician. Dr. Cochran, with years of experience and knowledge in clinical practice, explores beyond the usual and accepted treatments with remarkable results of healing.”

“Dr. Cochran is literally at the end of the line for many people who suffer chronic pain . . . . He is their last hope. Those who are able to see Dr. Cochran are indeed fortunate, as this book illustrates so well. He is a doctor who listens. I hope this book sells out many times. It’s that good.”

“I was near death when Dr. Cochran first saw me, and now I am planning my wedding. He has [made] a drastic change in my life, and I support all his work especially with opiates [in those with mental illness].”
