Description
Conventional medical practice leaves some pain unrevealed. This pain can become chronic and its management has become a new specialty in medicine. This book provides an account of how to deal with the major chronic pain syndromes, including back pain, body and myofacial pain, malignant diseases, neurogenic pain and headaches. It covers the background knowledge required in practice and gives advice on managing patients who suffer chronic pain. The book is not designed as a techinical manual but seeks to provide the practical information required for effective pain management.
