Effective pain management requires increasingly specialized
knowledge.
Multidisciplinary information is required if you intend to
practice pain management at a high level of effectiveness. This
includes anatomy and physiology, pain syndromes, diagnosis and
management, and the correct use of interventional techniques.
Pain-Relieving Procedures: The Illustrated Guide provides
you with a step-by-step guide to interventional techniques
underpinned by a solid multidisciplinary knowledge base. The text
is enhanced by the wide use of illustrations, including amazing
color 3D-CT images that enable you to easily visualize anatomy.
The first part of the book gives the fundamentals you need for
modern pain practice. The second part describes all commonly used
procedures, using a head-to-toe organization.
* The head
* The neck
* The thoracic region
* The thoraco-abdominal region
* The lumbar region
* The pelvic and sacral region
A special chapter covers more advanced techniques such as
continuous analgesia, spinal cord and sacral stimulation,
vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty.
Each procedure is described using a template that includes
anatomy, indications, contraindications, technique and
complications. Helpful hints throughout will help you refine your
practice to achieve better results.
Concise, straightforward, and indispensable, Pain-Relieving
Procedures: The Illustrated Guide provides the most effective
interventional methods for those practicing pain management.
