Your Headache Isn't All In Your Head: Neuroscience Education for Patients with Headache Pain is an important guide for patients who suffer from persistent or long-lasting headaches, translating the complex neuroscience of headache pain into language that's accessible to all. Studies show that people who understand how the brain and nervous system work together to create pain are much better off; they experience less pain, function better, have less fear and are more interested in healthy movement and exercise. This understanding is essential to recovery. How do I get rid of my headache? Research shows that once you understand what's causing your pain, your nerves immediately begin to calm. Beyond education, you have many tools to help ease the pain; this helpful guide details what else you can do to prevent or relieve headaches. Written by physical therapists Adriaan Louw and Ina Diener. Illustrated. Softcover; 48 pages.

Why You Hurt: Pain Neuroscience Education System

The suffering of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), formerly Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), is very real. However, all pain is produced by your nervous system and brain, and knowing this is the key to your recovery. Since movement creates pain, you must first desensitize your tissues by exercising your brain. Simply put, the more you know about pain, the better off you'll be. This patient book, written in easily digestible language, explains how pain works and details a series of mental exercises that will prepare you for physical movement of painful body parts. Written by physical therapist and neuroscience researcher Adriaan Louw, along with co-authors Colleen Louw and Kory Zimney. Illustrated. Spiral-bound softcover; 82 pages.

The detailed, full-color illustrations are designed to generate interest and engage your patients in the learning process so they can better understand the reasons why they hurt. Each poster includes scientific support footnotes that cite sources for all data and findings. Set includes four posters: * The Brain's Pain Meeting illustrates how regions of the brain react to the multi-tasking they must do when we experience pain * The Body's Alarm System demonstrates how the body's nervous system operates like an alarm system when experiencing pain * The Pain Cycle shows the recurring phases of how pain affects our thoughts, emotions and overall health * Tissues: Did You Know? explains why tissues and problems found on scans may not be the cause of ongoing pain.
