Chronic pain is a debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It can interfere with daily activities, disrupt sleep, and lead to depression and anxiety. While conventional treatments like medication and surgery can provide some relief, they often come with side effects and do not always address the underlying causes of pain.

Mind-body practices, on the other hand, offer a holistic approach to pain management. They involve the integration of the mind and body, and have been shown to be effective in reducing pain, improving mood, and promoting overall well-being.
