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.
