This is a PDF. Digital Download, No physical item will be shipped.

Presented as a single comprehensive volume, this guide delves into the various nerve entrapment syndromes and their management. Each chapter focuses on a specific nerve or a group of closely related nerves, detailing their clinical presentation, anatomy, physical examination, differential diagnosis, contributing factors, injection techniques, neurolytic and surgical methods, treatment of perpetuating factors, and potential complications.

Nerve entrapments can occur throughout the body, leading to a range of symptoms including headaches, chest pain, abdominal pain, pelvic pain, low back pain, and upper and lower extremity pain. For instance, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, one of the most prevalent nerve entrapment syndromes, affects approximately 1 in 20 people in the United States and is just one of several entrapments possible for the median nerve.

The chapters are richly illustrated with 3D anatomical images and the book is supplemented with more than 50 online videos—at least two for each nerve—enhancing the learning experience. A unique "Pain Problems Index" allows readers to search by symptom, in addition to the conventional index.

Peripheral Nerve Entrapments: Clinical Diagnosis and Management is an invaluable resource for pain physicians, emergency room physicians, and neurologists, providing detailed insights into the diagnosis and treatment of nerve entrapment syndromes.
