DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Fundamentals of Pain Medicine is a practical, clinically relevant, high-
yield product that teaches the practitioner how to diagnosis and treat
pain in patients. The book offers knowledge on the basics of pain –
covering common causes of pain, how to diagnosis, the treatment plan
including when and how to use certain non-interventional treatments
(medications), interventional treatments (injections) and step- by-
step guidelines on how to perform certain office-based procedures. It
also covers the multi-modal approach to pain by covering physical
therapy, complementary treatments and chiropractic treatments. This
book serves as an excellent resource for those who do not specialize in
pain management, but who likely encounter patients presenting with
pain issues on a daily basis. After reading this book, one will be better
motivated to diagnose and properly treat patient pain.
Written by one of America's foremost authorities in preventive medicine,
Nutrition in Clinical Practice is the practical, comprehensive, evidence-
based reference that all clinicians need to offer patients effective,
appropriate dietary counseling. Each chapter concludes with concise
guidelines for counseling and treatment, based on consensus and the
weight of evidence. Appendices include clinically relevant formulas,
nutrient data tables, patient-specific meal planners, and print and Web-
based resources for clinicians and patients.
