Chronic Pain: Out-of-the-box Treatments that Cure
by Lakshmi Champak VasThe book will reassure those suffering from chronic pain and readers that pains can be treated, and not just be ‘managed’. Contemporary pain management comprises some very sophisticated treatments, which address various parts of the nervous system that have been historically assumed to be responsible for pain. The author's approach is that all neuropathic pains are neuromyopathic with a major muscle pain component where the muscles are the final common factor in all chronic pains. This premise led to the innovation of a new system of pain management, which has been gratifyingly effective, providing cures for many complicated conditions. The book is about the discovery that many types of chronic pain are curable and others easily manageable. The novel concepts developed by the author and her research on pain management are described in this book. These are unique, and will be of interest to doctors, researchers, students, and patients.
