Product Description:
From one of the country's foremost pain management specialists, a groundbreaking program for the more than forty-five million Americans who suffer from all types of pain.
Dr.John Stamatos has a powerful message for readers: follow the Painbuster program and your pain can be treated, managed, and often eliminated.
Pain management has traditionally been an overlooked element of patient care. Now, as its importance is finally being recognized, physicians are calling pain the 'fifth vital sign.' During his more than twenty years of experience, including serving as a physician in the Gulf War, Stamatos discovered that using only one remedy or one traditional intervention for pain does not lead to a lasting cure. His Painbuster program combines methods of treatment in these remarkably effective four steps:
--the proper diagnosis of the kind of pain
--the use of appropriate medications to get the pain under control
--extensive physical therapy leading to a permanent cure
--a maintenance program geared to the individual, with an emphasis on proper diet, stress reduction, and regular exercise
The Painbuster program treats all kinds of pain, from a weekend sports injury and chronic lower back pain to arthritis and the discomfort associated with illnesses such as cancer and lupus.
Patients who have been told that pain is 'something they have to live with' and health practitioners who seek to broaden treatment strategies will welcome Painbuster's step-by-step plan-and its proven promise of relief.

Rating: - Very educational
I did not read this book and then become miraculously pain free-- so many of these books about pain sold by Amazon appear to have those sorts of reviews. But, this book helped me understand why I was taking the medications I was, motivated me to maintain an exercise program, and helped me get the courage to get the "shot", which is what I needed to stop my radiating back pain. I have read a number of books on back pain, this was the best. It is clearly written and contains a lot of useful information.
Rating: - Painbuster by John Stamatos MD et al.
Painbuster is a good work for explaining alternative strategies
to manage chronic pain and discomfort. Physical therapy
assists in blocking pain. Ultrasound provides deep massage
to block and manage pain or maximize blood flow. The TENS unit
attacks pain in a similar manner as acupuncture. Epidural
space injections block pain via the use of Kenalog. Different
exercises help to manage pain and muscular rigidity.
Sitting and standing multiple times helps as an exercise.

This book really helped me deal with my chronic back pain. I followed the easy steps and exercises, and have been pain-free for three weeks. (That's a record for me!) I never thought I would be able to go running again, but I completed a three mile run this morning.
Thank you Dr. Stamatos! I love you!
