[Book Description]

Dr. Cailliet's books have been applauded by doctors and health professionals all over the world; they provide commonsense guides for diagnosis and treatment of painful or disabling conditions in various parts of the body. One of the outstanding features of these books is the concise and detailed descriptions of the structure and functional anatomy of each region, with numerous drawings graphically expanding the author's lucid text.
For three decades Dr. Caillet recognized pain as an important issue and published a dozen books in this area. Pain is now acknowledged as a disease, not merely a symptom, and this concept forms the underlying basis of 『Pain: Mechanisms and Management』
