• These strategies identify and address the underlying dysfunctions that cause and perpetuate pain; this approach is contrasted to drugs, which provide temporary relief at a high cost (both financially and in terms of side effects)

• Gives detailed descriptions of assessments and treatments used in a functional medicine approach to pain, with special attention to clinical studies that support each

• Covers a wide range of therapies, including nutritional and dietary approaches, botanical medicines, and spinal manipulation

• Outlines conventional and functional medicine approaches to 4 conditions: migraine, low back pain, rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia, with case studies of how Alex Vasquez has treated each condition

SAMPLE REVIEW:

“This monograph is an excellent and elaborate reminder to practitioners that musculoskeletal pain can be far more complicated than it often first appears. Dr. Vasquez has done a masterful job in weaving together the functional medicine approach to these types of disorders, providing an astute combination of clinical insights, references to evidence-based literature, reviews of best practices in manual medicine and nutrition, and practical approaches.”
