Opis

This book fills the gap in knowledge and patient care by showing spine surgeons how to integrate pain management techniques into their practice. The first of its kind, Integrating Pain Treatment into Your Spine Practice is in tune with current efforts by major neurosurgical and neuromodulation societies and leading manufacturers of neuromodulation equipment to educate spine surgeons on the management of their patients post-surgical pain.
Designed as an all-in-one volume, this book explains how to identify candidates for pain treatment and when to refer them to specialists. It also presents how-to clinical information on approaches to managing pain, from the medical to the interventional and provides practical business guidance on coding and reinforcement.

Recenzje

"Integrating Pain Treatment Into Your Spine Practice is a novel and unique book that fills a longstanding need for a reference on how to combine the business and management aspects with the scientific, evidence-based component of pain care in a spine practice. The book is superbly organized, well thought out, comprehensive, easy to read and carries the depth of knowledge needed to start bringing pain care practice into your spine practice. Content is written by the field leaders and presents the most up-to-date and highest level of evidence available for each topic. The editors are national and international authorities on this timely subject and they present their unique experience in building such as practice that is both efficient and clinically excellent. This book should be in the immediate access library of all spine practitioners as well pain management practitioners." (AANS/ CNS Section on Pain, painsection.org, August, 2016)
