Synopsis

Get a Deep Understanding of the Neuroimmune Science of Pain to Help Patients Experiencing Chronic Pain

For clinicians and anyone working with pain patients, Explain Pain Supercharged offers the latest background information on neuroimmune science, conceptual change theory, and educational science; everything that is required to use the Explain Pain suite of tools to deliver optimal outcomes for individuals experiencing chronic pain.

The understanding of pain is a powerful adjunct to physical medicine and rehabilitation. In this book, authors Lorimer Moseley and David Butler apply their unique style to take the neuroimmune science of pain further than ever before, providing a deep understanding of the neuroimmune biology of pain with over 100 ready-to-use clinical metaphors and therapeutic narratives.

In Explain Pain Supercharged you’ll learn:

• to question your own theories, form solid theories, and set up a methodical way of thinking
• to recognize metaphors and learn how to enrich them as part of your therapeutic narrative
• the intricacies of the somatosensory system including the role of all skin receptors, ion channels, nociceptors, neuroimmune coupling, inflammation, and central sensitization 2.0
• to develop a collection of easily adaptable therapeutic narratives that translate complex science into digestible nuggets
• how to find out which level of misconception the learner holds and how to target your individual education to them
• how to adapt and create new Explain Pain curricula for your own special situations

The book is extensively cross-referenced with other mind body connection books including Explain Pain and the Explain Pain Handbook: Protectometer so that you’ll be able to enrich your patients experience no matter where they are on their pain journey.

About the Authors

David Butler, EdD, MPhty, Bhty, MAPA (Hon)

David is a physiotherapist, an educationalist, a researcher and clinician. He currently serves as an adjunct associate professor at the University of South Australia and an honored member of the Australian Physiotherapy Association. He is best known as an educationalist and his current focus is on adult conceptual change, diagnostic and therapeutic metaphors and pain storytelling. Internationally known and respected as a lively speaker and writer, David is capable of transforming the most turgid of modern pain sciences into instantly relevant, clinically applicable information.

G. Lorimer Moseley AO, DSc, PhD, FAAHMS, FFPMANZCA (Hon), FACP

Lorimer is a Bradley Distinguished Professor, a professor of clinical neurosciences, and a foundation chair in physiotherapy at the University of South Australia. A clinician, a scientist and educator, his research investigates the role of the brain and mind in chronic pain. He is the author of over 400 research articles and seven books. In 2020, he was made an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO), the country’s second highest civilian honor, for distinguished contribution to humanity at large in several fields. He leads a non-profit organization called Pain Revolution.

From the Back Cover

Butler and Moseley launched a revolution back in 2003 with Explain Pain, now the best selling pain text of all time. Explaining Pain has since become a global tour de force. Research studies show impressive results that can no longer be ignored. After countless conversations about Explain Pain with clinicians, patients, health departments, sports people, politicians and artists, Lorimer and David have written this text in response to the most often asked questions: Where can I learn more? How can I incorporate all the tough new scientific literature into my everyday practice to Explain Pain to my patients/family/friends/health professionals? How do I identify what patients need to know and how do I best pass it on to others, and where can I learn the best skills for delivery? Explain Pain Supercharged is for all health professionals treating pain and indeed anyone teaching people about pain. In this brand new book, with entirely original content, Moseley and Butler apply their unique style to take the neuroimmune science of pain further and deeper, enriching your core knowledge while providing immediately applicable education strategies, conceptual change science, curriculum development and hundreds of ready to use clinical metaphors and therapeutic narratives.

Operation: Multitasking brain cells Alongside single cell insufficiency is the property of multitasking. As it sounds, multitasking means that single brain cells, or single nueroimmune units (discussed later as tripartite synapses) can contribute to an infinite number of neurotags. As we discuss in the next section on the cortical body matrix, this has potentially profound implications for our understanding of the suite of dysfunctions that can accompany chronic pain and for our approach to rehabilitation. Both female and male brain cells are multitaskers!
