Tacking the ‘untapped frontier’ of chronic pain

By writing a book on how to deal with chronic pain, Dr Deepak Ravindran aims to help medical professionals and patients alike to better understand the issue.

A consultant is building on his experience of supporting people with pain by writing a book which will help others to develop a mindset to understand and overcome the issue.

Dr Deepak Ravindran has written The Pain Free Mindset, which brings together the experience and expertise of his 20 years working in the specialist field to increase understanding of chronic pain among patients and medical professionals alike.

Through developing a new mindset, says Dr Ravindran - which can help form a new perception and response to pain - a revised approach can be adopted which can potentially remove the need for medication or surgery.
