Chronic back pain has been and continues to be a major cause of distress (both to        people with persistent pain and their significant others), disability, work loss,        and a huge cost to society. Moreover, with the aging population, it is becoming even        more prevalent and as a consequence is having an escalating impact upon the        healthcare systems and society as a whole worldwide. A significant issue concerns        understanding why, although the majority of people with acute back symptomsrecover        in a reasonable time, a significant minority evolve into patients with chronic pain        and prolonged pain-related disability. Understanding the variables that contribute        to chronicity could serve as a basis for early intervention to prevent the downward        spiral.In the past 15 years, psychological and psychobiological mechanisms have been        identified as important risk factors in back pain, leading to the development of        early screending methods (Yellow Flag diagnostics) and new psychosocial        interventions. These work by closely targeting treatment modalities to patients'        needs. However, many aspects of how acute pain becomes chronic pain remain        unexplained. Recent neurobiological work investigating genetic, neurophysiological,        and biomechanical processeshas uncovererd important mechanisms involved in chronic        and acute back pain.From Acute to Chronic Back Pain examines the risk factors and        mechanisms involved in the transition from acute to chronic back pain. It integrates        genetic, biomechnanical neurobiological, psychophysiological, psychosocial, and        socieconomic risk factors. Moreover, the text examines advances in treatment        approaches based on evidence from published studies-ranging from prevention of        disability to pharmacological, psychological, and rehabilitative strategies and        methods.Broad in scope, and with contributions from leading authorities in their        respective fields, this book is a valuable and comprehensive work for the many        specialities involved with back pain - including those in the fields of clinical and        health psychology, physiology, epidemiology, and pain.
