Joint and Other Types of Pain in Deforming Arthrosis

The need to eliminate non-joint sources of pain, as an essential component of pain management for patients with deforming arthrosis, has only been understood in recent years. To establish this important direction in the rehabilitation of arthrosis patients in clinical practice more rapidly, the author presents previously untapped pain-relief therapy resources in a form accessible to the general reader. Issues relating to pain are closely tied to other important aspects of this problem.

The principles of the individualized approach to slowing the course of the disease in an affected joint are presented, and the role of natural factors in maintaining prolonged remission of the disease is clarified. Answers to patients' frequently-asked questions will be found at the end of the book to help the reader better understand the problem of pain.

The book is intended for physicians of all specialties. It will be also of useful to patients who are interested in obtaining the correct understanding of the nature of their disease and conservative treatment methods that have become available with the recent discovery of a fundamental law in pain medicine.
