Reference:
Price: US$34.95
The aim of this book is to discuss contextual factors and the mechanisms at play during the management of musculoskeletal disorders. Knowledge and understanding of these factors can help clinicians to better understand their patients, themselves, and the interactions taking place during patient-clinician exchanges. The awareness of these dispositions can help physicians improve themselves and the care they deliver to patients, leading to a true patient-centered collaborative therapeutic alliance. Physician-patient collaboration is, in turn, associated with better patient adherence and outcomes, and care, delivered in a positive context, produces better outcomes.

A Great and Practical Guide
Michael Vlanin provides better approaches in addressing musculoskeletal care. We often see new advances in the field, but Vlanin points out that it's not always in the patient's view. It's sometimes just a general view. The author points out in looking at the patient's sleep patterns, if they're depressed, etc. etc. The graphics were helpful in picturing what doctors should look for in their patients. I know what to say so my doctor can understand me better. It's a great guide and I hope this book furthers conversations about looking at medical advances through the patient's viewpoint.

One of a Kind Book
This book is one of the first to talk about this matter. I see the work of Michael Vianin to be truly revolutionary for the area of work. Despite not being into the topic very much, I was able to follow and understand this complex field with minimal effort. I believe this amazing job done by the author is the result of his extensive clinical experience and academic background. I like the fact that he even deals with specific points such as key aspects that are normally taken for granted in the clinical treatments and diagnostics. And he does all this in a technical, yet understandable language. I strongly believe that this book can be a starting point to improve medical treatments.

Based on the title of this book, it seems like there would be a lot of medical terms in it that you may have to look up to understand. Rest assured that this is not the case. The principles discussed in the book are easy to follow and understand, and some of the information that is talked about is also really surprising, at least it was to me.
Additionally, I appreciated the graphs and diagrams that were shown in the book, as well as the many resources that you can look at for more information, which is included after the explanation of all the major ideas that the book mentions. If you are interested in reading medical studies, this is something you will also like.
If you have chronic pain, you may want to read this book as the symptoms you have are likely mentioned. Reading this book may help you have a more informed discussion with your doctor or health team, so you can get the best care for you.
