About this Item

Solid evidence now shows that knowing why we hurt will help us heal. All pain is real, and for many people it is a debilitating part of everyday life. In a world where 1 in 5 of us experience ongoing pain and where there is increasing evidence for the failure of synthetic drugs, take heart: help is at hand. It is now known that understanding more about why things hurt can actually help treat pain. Recent advances in fields such as neurophysiology, brain imaging, immunology, psychology and cellular biology have provided an explanatory platform from which to explore pain. In everyday language accompanied by quirky illustrations,Explain Pain Second Editiondiscusses how pain responses are produced by the brain, how responses to injury from the autonomic motor and immune systems in your body contribute to pain, andwhy pain can persist after tissues have had plenty of time to heal. Co-author Dr David Butler, founder of the Neuro Orthopaedic Institute, says that"it is no longer acceptable that pain be just managed: we must expect that it can be treated, and sufferers can alter it themselves through education." Explain Painhas sold around 60,000 copies world-wide in 5 languages and continues to inspire clinical research and multidisciplinary pain treatment globally.Explain Painaims to give people in pain the power to challenge pain and to consider new models for viewing what happens to your body and brain during pain. Once they have learnt about the processes involved they can follow a scientific route to recovery. Why a second edition? A decade of scientific research is a lot - and we need to keep on top of it. In the last 10 years there has been increasing support for therapeutic neuroscience education from clinical trials, educational science, neuroscience, plain logic and the failure of drug therapy on chronic pain outcomes. Lorimer and David have subtly changed some of the language so that the second edition can be delivered with much more authority than the first.

About this title

Synopsis

All pain is real, and for many people chronic pain is a debilitating part of everyday life. However, it is now known that the more we understand pain, the less we will hurt.

Modern neurophysiology, brain imaging, immunology, psychology, pain sciences and thousands of peoples’ pain stories now provide a revolutionary and new way to treat pain. Explain Pain Second Edition, in easy-to-follow language, discusses how pain experiences are constructed in response to dangers and threats in our bodies and influenced by our thoughts, beliefs and context. This knowledge is the key to recovery.

With advances in pain sciences, authors Lorimer Moseley and David Butler, have subtly changed some of the language and content so that the second edition can be delivered with increased confidence. Explain Pain Second Edition is extensively referenced and links to the Explain Pain Handbook: Protectometer.

In Explain Pain you’ll learn about:

• why we all experience pain and how it works
• amazing pain stories that help put pain in perspective
• how your brain, nervous system, and protective system work and the role they play in pain tolerance
• how age, gender and culture can affect pain
• the body’s alarm system and how it works
• injury and healing of the body
• inflammation, muscles, discs, skin, soft tissues, bones and joint contributions to pain
• pain management essentials
• much more

With great clarity and quirky images Explain Pain answers common questions asked by pain sufferers, such as "Why am I in pain?", "Why has it spread?" and "What can I do to help?" Written by two pain science experts with more than 60 years of combined experience in the pain field―in clinical, research and education roles―Explain Pain gives new and immediate hope to pain sufferers and their family and friends.
