Most importantly, through the stories of his patients, he illustrates routes to recovering from chronic pain’s disabling impact. Dr. Pohl’s compassionate, holistic, grounded, and honest approach to treating pain and its emotional and behavioral consequences shines through this book. I highly recommend A Day without Pain for anyone suffering from chronic pain or watching a loved one suffer.” Harry L.

Founder of Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinics of San Francisco Past President of American Society of Addiction Medicine Chief of Addiction Medicine Newport Academy Author of Unchain Your Brain “A Day without Pain offers this timely message to those with chronic pain (and their physicians). Dr. Pohl illuminates the approach to the chronic pain patient and shows us the medical, psychological, and chemical dependency issues that must be addressed in these individuals. Dr. Pohl’s humane understanding of complex patients is well-described, with particular attention to the medical, neurochemical, psychodynamic, and spiritual modalities that bring recovery to these suffering patients. The emphasis on narcotic-free living is paramount. As a practitioner on the ‘firing line’ treating chronic pain patients, I heartily recommend A Day without Pain to anyone suffering with this mysterious illness, as well as their caregivers, family, and friends.” Date: September 20, 2013
