Pain accounts for more than thirty-five million new office visits and more than seventy million of all office visits to physicians each year in the United States. Although there is no cure for chronic pain, Understanding Chronic Pain outlines new and effective treatments that focus on the management of pain and improvement in a patient's quality of life. In the United States approximately ninety million people suffer from chronic pain, with an estimated cost exceeding $125 billion annually in health care, disability compensation, lost productivity, and lost tax revenue. To provide information about the mechanisms of such suffering and about current treatments, the authors of Understanding Chronic Pain have combined their experiences as teachers, physicians, and therapists. Their book is intended for those individuals burdened by chronic pain, as well as for their families, coworkers, employers, and friends. Chronic pain disables more people than cancer or heart disease and costs more than both combined. It is estimated that five million Americans are partially disabled by back problems, and two million are so severely disabled that they cannot work. Twenty million people endure arthritis pain; forty million experience chronic recurrent headaches. The majority of individuals in intermediate or advanced stages of cancer suffer moderate to severe pain. Only within the last two decades has there been a surge of interest in specifically addressing the issue of chronic pain and its allied health services,chronic pain,diseases and physical ailments,health fitness and dieting,medical,medical books,medicine and health sciences,pain management,parenting and relationships,textbooks Diseases & Physical Ailments, University Press of Mississippi<
