Explain Pain Second Edition

Discover the Science of Pain with David and Lorimer

Explain Pain is a must-read for clinicians, people experiencing pain, and their families. Pain is real – and for many, it is a debilitating part of daily life. However, modern research shows that the more we understand pain, the less we hurt.

In Explain Pain, authors David and Lorimer personally guide you through the fascinating science of pain in clear, everyday language. They share remarkable pain stories and explain how the brain constructs the experience of pain through your ‘danger alarm system’ and the intricate ‘orchestra in the brain.’ You’ll also learn about the body’s natural healing processes after injury and uncover why pain can persist long after tissues have healed. This audiobook equips you with the essential knowledge to understand pain deeply and empowers you to follow a science-based path to recovery.

Drawing on modern neurophysiology, brain imaging, immunology, psychology, pain sciences, and thousands of pain stories, Explain Pain introduces a revolutionary new approach to understanding and treating pain. Using easy-to-follow language, the authors reveal how pain is constructed in response to perceived dangers and threats in the body – and how it is influenced by thoughts, beliefs, and context. Armed with this knowledge, you’ll find the key to reclaiming your life and moving toward recovery.
