Book Reviews of Explain Pain
Book Review: How a Self-Help Book Should Be Written
Summary: 5 Stars
This book conveys a recent, surprising update on chronic injury-related pain. It convinces you that pain can assume a life of its own long after the original injury has healed or been resolved. A complex of nervous, inflammatory and endocrine systems, which emerged in response to the injury, continues sui generis to make you miserable.
The authors adduce much information from psychology and neuroscience that leads to key conclusions. The approach to pain relief should change after a while from analgesics and passive physiotherapy to an adaptive program of gradually return to normal activity. This means systematic increase in negotiating pain-making movements while disregarding temporary pain increases. You have to try doing things that make symptoms worse for a bit. Shying away from challenges simply fixes expectations that you will remain hurt and invalided. A list of high quality references from peer-reviewed medical literature backs up the text.
The book's content is presented on big, wide pages of jargon-free text and apealing illustrations, all packaged in a ring binder and cover flap that lets you keep your place easily while consulting cross-references elsewhere in the book that reinforce the current message. Brief reviews at the ends of chapters also boost memory.
There are good reasons why this unusual book commands its premium price.
