Explain Pain by Lorimer Moseley and David Butler

All pain is real, and for many people it is a debilitating part of everyday
life.
It is now known that understanding more about why things hurt can actually
help people to understand their pain. Recent advances in fields such as
neurophysiology, brain imaging, immunology, psychology and cellular biology
have provided an explanatory platform from which to explore pain. In everyday
language accompanied by quirky illustrations, Explain Pain discusses how pain
responses are produced by the brain: how responses to injury from the autonomic
motor and immune systems in your body contribute to pain, and why pain can
persist after tissues have had plenty of time to heal.
Explain Pain aims to give clinicians and people in pain the power to
challenge pain and to consider new models for viewing what happens during pain.
Once they have learnt about the processes involved they can follow a scientific
route to recovery.
