Chronic pain: Behavioral medicine has been shown repeatedly to help people who have chronic pain. Some methods include visualization therapy, relaxation therapy, biofeedback and something called cognitive restructuring which seeks to alter some fixed beliefs about chronic pain. It is unfortunate that it is not used more. It takes a while to learn and sometimes insurance companies will not cover it

Behavioral medicine: A cornerstone of behavioral medicine is evaluating the interplay between physiological and psychological factors that influence health outcomes. This is an underestimated and often under evaluated component of whole health care.
