Pain Medicine for the Practitioner is a practical, clinically relevant, high-yield product that will teach the practitioner how to diagnosis and treat pain in patients. Currently pain management as a specialty is not offered in medical school and there is no rotation in residency, however every doctor at every level will likely encounter patients with pain. This book offers knowledge on the basics of pain covering common causes of pain, how to diagnosis, the treatment plan including when and how to use certain non-interventional treatments (medications), interventional treatments (injections) and step- by- step guidelines on how to perform certain office-based procedures. This book also covers the multi-modal approach to pain by covering physical therapy, complementary treatments and chiropractic treatments. This product will serve as an excellent resource for those who do not specialize in pain management, but who likely encounter patients presenting with pain issues on a daily basis. There are three hurdles that the practitioner faces upon encountering a patient with pain. The first is uncertainty as to why the patient has pain. The second is knowing the cause of the pain, but being unsure of how to treat it properly. The third is knowing why the patient has pain and being aware of appropriate treatment, but not treating for fear of taking action. Pain doesn t always get better on its own, and is considered chronic after three months. The longer treatment is delayed, the harder pain is to alleviate. Only 50 percent of people return to work when they are out for six months. Only 25 percent return to work when they are out for one year. After reading this book, one will be better motivated to diagnose and properly treat patient pain.
