Download or read book Back Sense written by Dr. Ronald D. Siegel and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2002-04-09 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On occasion nearly everyone experiences short-term back pain from sore or strained muscles. But for many who come to treat their back gingerly because they fear further "injury," a cycle of worry and inactivity results; this aggravates existing muscle tightness and leads them to think of themselves as having a "bad back." Even worse is the understandable but usually counterproductive assumption that back pain is caused by "abnormalities"–bulging disks, a damaged spine, and so on. However, these abnormalities are frequently found in those who have absolutely no pain whatsoever. In reality, most backs are strong and resilient, built to support our bodies for a lifetime; truly "bad backs" are rare. Drawing on their work with patients and studies from major scientific journals and corporations, the authors of Back Sense–all three are former chronic back pain sufferers themselves–developed a revolutionary self-treatment approach targeting the true causes of chronic back pain. It is based on conclusive evidence proving that stress and inactivity are usually the prime offenders, and it allows patients to avoid the restrictions and expense of most other treatments. After showing readers how to rule out the possibility that a rare medical condition is the source of their problem, Back Sense clearly and convincingly explains the actual factors behind chronic back pain and systematically leads readers toward recapturing a life free of back pain.

Download or read book Sex Love Back Pain and You written by Barry Sloan and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-12-16 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a practical, and yet medically informed guide for those suffering from Chronic Back Pain - especially its effect on intimacy, its negative effect on sexuality and intimate relations. One of the most important tasks of the book is identification of subtle (indeed, nearly invisible) physical and psychological damages be back injury, pain and even treatment. The single most important reason to read this book is its grounding in the lives of patient with formidable problems. Few, if any texts go into the homes and or discuss sexual problems. This was work, but critical work if relationships were to survive. In this text, the years of wisdom gathered from couples made romance possible to regain with months - not years. Only a very small percentage of texts like this one try to see the depth of back pain patients' problems. Here we see the patient, couple, dating teens, and retired bakers throughout the day and into the night. Diagnostic medical tools reveal physical problems, but not those that come up at home and in the workplace. A first edition of this text attempted to generate solutions based on short office visits. Yet we all knew that in today's clinics, office time is short. Too often, the end with little discussion beyond perscriptions and referalls. The interviews in this book captured experiences revealed from extensive hours and identifying specific situations. The book also looks carefully at the rise of pain control medication: the right to live without pain but balanced by the need to stay connected to friends, families and responsibility to remain lucid and not "hide" from pain, which medications can allow. If we have not provided the means to achieve that, we will return to homes that must be visited, and return to the keyboard as well. With luck, we will be armed with information richer in detail, from both patients and practitioners alike.

Download or read book From Acute to Chronic Back Pain written by Monika I. Hasenbring and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-01-19 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic back pain has been and continues to be a major cause of distress (both to people with persistent pain and their significant others), disability, work loss, and a huge cost to society. Moreover, with the aging population, it is becoming even more prevalent and as a consequence is having an escalating impact upon the healthcare systems and society as a whole worldwide. A significant issue concerns understanding why, although the majority of people with acute back symptoms recover in a reasonable time, a significant minority evolve into patients with chronic pain and prolonged pain-related disability. Understanding the variables that contribute to chronicity could serve as a basis for early intervention to prevent the downward spiral. In the past 15 years, psychological and psychobiological mechanisms have been identified as important risk factors in back pain, leading to the development of early screending methods (Yellow Flag diagnostics) and new psychosocial interventions. These work by closely targeting treatment modalities to patients' needs. However, many aspects of how acute pain becomes chronic pain remain unexplained. Recent neurobiological work investigating genetic, neurophysiological, and biomechanical processes has uncovererd important mechanisms involved in chronic and acute back pain. From Acute to Chronic Back Pain examines the risk factors and mechanisms involved in the transition from acute to chronic back pain. It integrates genetic, biomechnanical neurobiological, psychophysiological, psychosocial, and socieconomic risk factors. Moreover, the text examines advances in treatment approaches based on evidence from published studies-ranging from prevention of disability to pharmacological, psychological, and rehabilitative strategies and methods. Broad in scope, and with contributions from leading authorities in their respective fields, this book is a valuable and comprehensive work for the many specialities involved with back pain - including those in the fields of clinical and health psychology, physiology, epidemiology, and pain.
