The book is multidisciplinary in scope, taking all aspects of treatment into consideration in patient assessment and goal setting. The anatomy and physiology of pain, pharmacology, anesthesia, and the behavioral approach to management are included among the topics covered. Prevention of disability, the significant role of the physical therapist in this, and the variety of different pain treatment facilities available are discussed in depth. Written with the goal of improving the outcomes of chronic pain patients who rely on physical therapy, this book will prove invaluable to all health professionals involved with these patients.
