Reference:

Price: US$9.95

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 Holistic Approach to Musculoskeletal Treatment

Michael Vianin's groundbreaking text offers a sophisticated yet practical framework for understanding the complex interplay between patient dispositions and musculoskeletal care outcomes. Drawing from his extensive clinical experience and academic background, Vianin presents a comprehensive model that addresses crucial aspects often overlooked in traditional approaches, including pain catastrophizing, depression, sleep quality, and the critical role of clinician disposition in treatment success.

What distinguishes this work is its evidence-based integration of psychological and physical factors in patient care, emphasizing the importance of collaborative treatment approaches. Vianin's expertise as both a practicing chiropractor and academic shines through in his detailed yet accessible discussion of implementing dispositionalism in clinical settings. While some practitioners might find the model's comprehensive nature initially challenging to implement, the book provides clear, practical tools for application. This valuable resource fundamentally reimagines how healthcare professionals can better serve patients with musculoskeletal conditions by considering the full spectrum of factors influencing treatment outcomes. Highly recommended.

A Practical Guide

A practical guide for improving how to treat pain. I like that it doesn't have hard terms that are hard to follow, and it is written in a very clear and approachable style. And the best part for me is the way the author talks about how to approach it; he says we must consider the emotional, the psychological and the physical aspect of pain as a whole, because that is the way our body, mind and soul connects with it as well.
The book talks about sleep quality as a thing to take in consideration and also attitudes. I think this book would help a lot of readers and their professionals in health care.
