Description
Reflecting state-of-the-art and current practice in chronic pain management for physical therapists, this innovative text stands out as
the first published work to focus on this aspect of the field. The book makes a clear distinction between acute and chronic pain, providing
the essentials on how different cultures express and treat pain, discussion of how to treat problematic patient populations (such as
substance abusers), and alternative/complementary therapies including acupuncture, energy therapy and Tai Chi.
