This book is an in depth guide to chronic and neuropathic pain. The issue of chronic and neuropathic pain is very prevalent, yet only a fraction of the symptoms and root causes, as well as potential treatment plans, are properly understood. Additionally, less than half of cases are accurately identified and properly treated. The existing drugs, although classified as very strong and powerful, cannot provide lasting relief to chronic and neuropathic pain. Thus, with all the unique features of this condition, this book presents a systematic way of diagnosing and approaching this condition so every practitioner can appropriately treat their patients. In addition to introducing key concepts, like classification of chronic pain and the challenges patients and practitioners face when dealing with and treating chronic and neuropathic pain, this book also covers different syndromes that can lead to neuropathic pains. It discusses how to monitor progress by using outcome measures, the presence of chronic and neuropathic pain in children and young adults, and the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain as it relates to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Interestingly, the latter is not presently addressed except with the usual pain drugs for general pain-this book aims to revolutionize the approach to chronic and neuropathic pain by exploring it separately from the clinical approach to general pain. It is interesting to note that these cytokines require a specific mode of action if we want to neutralize them in our system, and this concept will be discussed in the regenerative intervention sections. Since it is so necessary to address the many factors to chronic and neuropathic pain as laid out in the proposed table of contents, it is also critical include as varied authors as possible to address this condition from all areas being covered. The team assembled to author the chapters included in this text come from diverse backgrounds of practice and clinical and research interests, from physical medicine and rehabilitation to anesthesiology to radiology and interventional pain medicine. This is an ideal guide for all clinicians caring for patients with chronic and neuropathic pain.

Patients often seek advice in the doctor's office whose complaints are of a functional nature and cannot be directly assigned to an organ disease via laboratory or imaging. Many of these disorders such as pain, dizziness, tinnitus, lumpiness or the "heel spur" originate from the fascial organ, which is only now slowly being understood as such.Fascia connects all parts of our body mechanically but more important, all our receptors for intro-and extroception and for the regulation of homeostasis are embedded in fascia. If you take this system into account in the differential diagnosis, you can spare your patients invasive, stressful diagnostics and offer an accurate and successful therapy.Understand causes of fascial pain and dysfunction: fascial knots, principals of fascial disorders, flash tests, fascial chains, trigger points, interaction between cause and location of pain or other symptoms like fixed eczema and othersUnderstand causes of myofascial pain and dysfunction: myofascial knots, fascial chains, trigger points, interaction between cause and location of pain. fascial slackness and blockages Clinic, symptoms Recognize fascial syndromes and pain patterns correctly Causal and permanently effective treatment approaches Therapy of the fascial system Causes of fascial disorders Cooperation doctor - physiotherapistThe authors - a general practitioner and a physiotherapist - complement each other perfectly in their knowledge and skills. A plausible, practice-relevant, pathophysiological concept, which was created on the basis of many years of experience and success, as well as scientific studies (where available) and comes up with new - sometimes provocative - theses.

Strap yourself in ...The astonishing true story of medical Arachnoiditis. "It's impossible not to think of Henry Marsh's super-selling Do No Harm"- Positive TV A young woman with big dreams and a great career in IT emigrates from Russia to London, falls in love, marries, and goes to the hospital to have her first baby, a happy and healthy little girl. It's a modern-day fairy tale come true, until...she is rocked by pain unlike any she has experienced. She tells her husband, her family, her doctors, but no one believes her. The doctors do tests - but nothing. When she persists, they tell her it is all in her head - that she is making it up, that she is a stressed-out new mum, that she is losing it. Broken down, eventually she starts to believe them, questioning her own sanity, suffering beyond belief. But she's not insane. The hospital has been hiding something. Her medical records have been falsified. Her investigative journey begins. Is she uncovering one of the most shocking medical cover-ups of the 21st Century? If you are an expectant mother-to-be, or have experienced unexplained pain ever since childbirth, this book is a must-read. Endorsement from Forest Tennant, M.D., Dr.P.H. Doctor Tennant is a member of the American Academy of Pain Medicine, the Academy of Integrative Pain Management, the American Pain Society, and the American Society of Addiction Medicine. He has authored over 300 scientific articles and books.Samara has captured the essence of problems that have been ignored for far too long. Every woman needs to know that adhesive arachnoiditis is a risk with an epidural anaesthetic injection that is given for childbirth. She raises two even more important points. One is that the physicians giving epidural injections don't know that there is a pretty good emergency anecdote if arachnoiditis symptoms occur after the epidural. Even more, she tells the world a sad tale. Physicians, as a group, still don't realize that simple treatment protocols have been developed for AA, and they can and should be administered in every community. Untreated, AA is a miserable, suffering, disease that takes one's life long before its time. Samara's book will help turn the tide.Forest Tennant Samara Jones' Stabbed in the Back is an eloquent cri de coeur on behalf of the millions maimed by unnecessary invasive spinal procedures in general and by childbirth epidurals in particular. This is a short but necessary treatise on the dangers of misplaced hypodermic needles that cause intense and intractable pain and suffering. The disease in question is adhesive arachnoiditis, inflammation of nerves in the spinal cord caused in the main by medical intervention. Therefore, cover-up and denial by the medical profession are par for the course. A Russian who came to live in the United Kingdom, Samara's love for the British way of life became sorely tested by years of being pummelled by the medical profession, which regarded her awful symptoms as "all in the head". Call it ignorance or call it obfuscation, I call it downright cruelty. Roger Radford, author of 'Cry of the Needle'
