This is a PDF. Digital Download, No physical item will be shipped.
Presented as a single volume, this comprehensive guide explores various nerve entrapment syndromes and their management. Each chapter focuses on a specific nerve or a group of related nerves, detailing the clinical presentation, anatomy, physical examination, differential diagnosis, contributing factors, injection techniques, neurolytic/surgical techniques, treatments of perpetuating factors, and complications.
Nerve entrapments can occur throughout the body, leading to 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 common nerve entrapment syndromes, affects about 1 in 20 people in the United States and is just one of several entrapment syndromes that can affect the median nerve.
Chapters are extensively illustrated with 3D anatomical images. The book is further enhanced by over 50 online videos—at least two for each nerve—facilitating easy navigation. Besides a conventional index, it includes a “Pain Problems Index” for symptom-based searching. Peripheral Nerve Entrapments: Clinical Diagnosis and Management is a much-needed resource for pain physicians, emergency room physicians, and neurologists.
