Image-Guided Spine Interventions Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)the book is really new. the content is good.
the shipping was fast besides the "regular" shiping.
the price was really lower than in europe's sites or librarys.
the only thing I was not expecting was the tax for the book to enter in europe, but this was not an item related to amazone.

Product Description:
This practical guide thoroughly discusses both well-established and new interventions that are applied to the spine for the purpose of pain relief. Traditionally, pain procedures were in the limited purview of the pain anesthesiologist. Only a portion of these procedures were image guided. The growth in utilization of spine intervention and the realization that image guidance improves outcomes and safety has produced a need for this cutting-edge book. This book is an ideal aid for radiologists and other physicians who deal with back pain.

Prolo Your Headaches and Neck Pain Away! Curing Migraines and Chronic Neck Pain with Prolotherapy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First off, the people who wrote this book didn't invent Prolo Therapy.It goes back at least to the 1940's and is practiced by a handful of orthopedic surgeons.I had Prolo Therapy done for chronic neck problems which I had no hope would ever be healded.Within four months I had put 20 plus years of chronic pain compeletely behind me.I've told everyone I know about this and their results have been similar to mine.I cannot say enough good things about Prolo Therapy.It needs to be advertised.It is nothing short of a miracle. BTW, it works on chronic lower back pain, rotator cuff injuries, and a number of other joint problems as well.
Ignore at your own peril.

Product Description:
Years ago, it was going to be another ruined evening for the Hausers. Marion had another migraine headache. She finally decided to end all of the suffering and tried Prolotherapy. Boy, is she glad that she did! You will also be glad if you suffer from migraines, tension, or cluster headaches. Marion went from being a skeptic, to someone who now writes books on the topic! Prolotherapy stimulates the body to repair painful areas. Don't most headaches start out with neck or shoulder pain? Learn about a lesser-known syndrome called Barre-Lieou Syndrome, which is one of the most common causes of headaches. Some of the associated symptoms include ringing in the ears, sinus pressure, dizziness, and neck pain. Ligament injury in the neck is usually the cause of head forward posture, which leads to chronic neck pain and headaches. Prolotherapy causes the vertebrae in the neck to stay in alignment. Good alignment means good posture. Good posture means fewer headaches. No more headaches mean good bye to pain pills. Learn why many former headache sufferers found hope with Prolotherapy.

Painbuster: A Breakthrough 4-Step Program for Ending Chronic Pain Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Painbuster is a good work for explaining alternative strategies
to manage chronic pain and discomfort. Physical therapy
assists in blocking pain. Ultrasound provides deep massage
to block and manage pain or maximize blood flow. The TENS unit
attacks pain in a similar manner as acupuncture. Epidural
space injections block pain via the use of Kenalog. Different
exercises help to manage pain and muscular rigidity.
Sitting and standing multiple times helps as an exercise.
Lying flat on the back and raising/lowering the abdomen
helps to establish spinal flexibility. Getting into a
crawling position and extending the leg upward is also a good
stretch. Certain foods and herbal preparations manage pain.
For instance, ginger, B6 and B12 vitamins, brocolli, garlic,
beans, tuna, salmon and omega 3 fats are helpful in crafting
an effective pain management and diet strategy to reinforce
the exercise regimen.

The Chronic Pain Solution: The Comprehensive, Step-by-Step Guide to Choosing the Best of Alternative and Conventional Medicine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Chronic pain has become perhaps the most trying and least understood health problem in this country.Millions of people suffer from chronic pain, and most of them have little hope that their pain will end.Many doctors are ignorant about the pain experience of their patients, and some are even dubious that the pain exists!
Part of the problem is that pain is an entirely subjective experience.It has no existence in the world outside of the pain sufferer (and the observable consequences of that pain).There are no instruments that can objectively measure pain.The plain fact, known only too well to chronic pain sufferers, is that nobody feels your pain but you, period.Dr. Dillard, however, among a growing number of progressive and caring physicians, realizes that the pain is real and has trained himself to appreciate and understand pain.On page 59 he even has a list of 68 adjectives for describing pain ranging from "aching" to "gnawing" to "wrenching."
Another part of the problem, as Dr. Dillard points out, is that many physicians have not had adequate training in pain management and tend to respond to their patients' needs from a narrow and relative uninformed perspective.A third part of the problem is that pain management is not a medical specialty.Most physicians simply are not experts in treating chronic pain.
I am not a chronic pain sufferer, but I know about this tragedy because someone I love has suffered for several years from near-constant pain of unclear origin.She has seen a number of doctors but has found little relief.To some extent she has become discouraged and cynical about ever finding help.I hope she will read this book and be inspired to renew her efforts to manage and reduce her pain.
Clearly this book does not offer a magic pill or any sort of miraculous solution.What it offers is an up-to-date and relatively thorough examination of ways to reduce and cope with chronic pain using methods combining alternative and conventional medicine.
Dr. Dillard's training and experience as both a chiropractor and a medical physician, and his open-minded and far ranging approach to the healing arts make this well-organized, well presented and eminently readable book the best I have read on the subject.Dillard begins with an attempt to understand pain using a whole body/whole mind approach.He encourages pain suffers to become part of a "pain management team" that includes the patient along with doctors, physical therapists and other professionals.His is a pro-active agenda in which he advocates "Taking Control of Your Treatment" (title of Part II).
Part III presents an evaluation of therapies from exercise, yoga, and meditation to acupuncture, pharmaceuticals, implants, and surgery.Part IV outlines the various complaints from headache through back pain and fibromyalgia to myofascial and complex regional pain syndrome.Part V focuses on "Special Considerations," pain management for children, pregnant women, the elderly and terminally ill.Dillard apparently has no prejudices against any given form of treatment, evaluating each according to its merits and appropriateness.He sees a place for methadone as well as meditation.Indeed, he usually recommends a combination of approaches.
Even though there is no magic bullet yet, and even though such a miracle may be many years in the future, Dr. Dillard's book offers hope that chronic pain can be reduced and managed (and in some cases eliminated entirely).People who are completely disabled by their pain can gain enough control to return to a more active lifestyle.Others who live only a reduced existence because of their pain may again find the joy in living.What Dr. Dillard's experience shows is that those who take an active part in managing their pain receive a synergistic effect by their active involvement.He emphasizes that immobility and lack of exercise (caused by the pain) tend to increase the pain experience, while exercise and an active engagement with life tend to reduce it.Consequently his approach for those whose pain is so bad they cannot exercise at all is to recommend even very strong pain medications so that exercise is possible, and then as activity increases to gradually lower the dosage.
This is an excellent first course in understanding and managing chronic pain and the sort of book that pain sufferers will want to read.

The War on Pain Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Any sufferer of chronic pain knows the frustration of trying to communicate to others how pain seeps into every aspect of your daily life.Too many doctors ignore the patient's pain because long term suffering may be incurable, but that does not mean it is not treatable.This doctor understands that acknowledgement can bring relief and is an advocate of having the patient take an active role in seeking relief with everything from brand new drugs and technologies to alternative medicine. This book will educate you so you can better seek relief with your doctor.A lot has changed in the last decade and now almost everyone with chronic paid can get considerable relief as I found out when I thought I had run out of options. I read this book from the library, then bought the book so I could have my family read it. This is a very valuable book.
