 For millions suffering from disabling chronic pain, getting to the doctor's office to obtain medical attention can be physically daunting. Getting the correct diagnosis in the current healthcare system is increasingly frustrating and that could lead to improper care. From one of the most published and forward thinking pain management specialists, and author of Pain to Wellness: Getting Help and Finding Freedom From Chronic Pain, Dr. James Gruft will offer online education via gotomeeting.com to sufferers Wednesday, May 26th, from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm CST.

In the From Pain to Wellness clinic Dr. Gruft developed a hands-on system that takes a patient with a pain issue and moves them from a pain-focus towards a wellness-focus. The system explores the components needed to make the system optimal. Once a proper diagnosis is determined, a wellness treatment plan is tailor made to each individual patient before implementing.

"Pain in multidimensional and should be treated accordingly," states Dr. Gruft. "I find that a person suffering from disabling chronic pain must be concurrently treated physically, psychologically and emotionally or the treatment will fail."

For anyone suffering from pain for longer than six months, or has difficulty sleeping, suffers from depression, has Fibromyalgia, a poorly understood and often devastating syndrome, or diminished capacity for standing or sitting or living a normal life, these online chats will prove invaluable, particularly to those without health insurance. Connect with him on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter to receive timely updates about upcoming sessions.

Dr. James Gruft authored From Pain to Wellness: Getting Help and Finding Freedom From Chronic Pain, and is founder and director of From Pain to Wellness, LLC based in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. He served as medical director of one of the oldest pain management programs in the Chicago area for more than 14 years. He is board-certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (P.M.& R, F.A.A.P.M.R) and Pain Medicine (D.A.B.P.M.).
