"For far too long, chronic pain conditions have been poorly diagnosed and even more poorly managed, contributing to the misery of millions of people. To provide effective medical treatment for these patients requires better understanding on the part of medical staff at the front line, i.e. primary care physicians. This book will go a long way toward accomplishing this objective. It should be a compulsory read for all primary care providers." -- Doody's
