Great book! I took Nelson's workshop PNMT for the Shoulder and I'm really glad to have attended the workshop and purchased this book. The author is very humbled about his research and explains in great detail about Pain. I highly recommend this!I got a shoulder injury in August 2016, and I was not able to perform simple daily tasks with my left arm. Lifting a cup of water and taking my shirt off were very difficult to perform. I am an athlete and I do a lot of acrobatics, and not being able to perform simple daily tasks was very upsetting and degrading to me. So I gradually and intentionally explored movement that were painful and not painful. I must say that before I read this book, I was already a big believer in movement as medicine. After attending the PNMT for the Shoulder and reading this book, it helped me deeply understand about my injury and pain. Six months after my shoulder injury, I have become stronger and now I'm able to perform harder skills prior my shoulder injury. This book has reinforced my personal theory on recovering from an injury and educated me on how one should understand pain.

With the conversationally written, highly readable "The Mystery of Pain", therapist Douglas Nelson gives a very comprehensive overview of current understandings in pain science.  The book is written at a level that can educate the general public but still provide health care professionals an updated understanding as well.  The information is derived from a wide variety of modern day scientific research, with an extensive reference list that professionals can delve into for more information should they desire.  Topics covered in the book include a history of the medical understanding of pain, influence of social and cultural factors on pain, information on why imaging technology has been both helpful and harmful in helping people in pain, the roles that belief, expectation, placebo and nocebo can play in painful conditions, and overviews of the current understandings of myofascial pain syndrome and fibromyalgia.  Most important, however, is the central theme in the book that the brain plays in chronic pain with discussions of understandings gained from research involving phantom limb pain and central sensitization.  I found "The Mystery of Pain" to contain comparable information to and be as readable as another favorite  about the same topic ("Explain Pain" by David Butler and Lorimer Moseley).  I'd highly encourage both books to anyone, but "The Mystery of Pain" is a more affordable option for those who have to choose just one.Tony Friese, PTWausau, WI

    An excellent read!
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 25, 2014*

This latest book by Douglas Nelson, a neuromuscular therapist, educator and researcher, is very well-written for both a lay and professional audience.  One aspect of his writing style which made the subject matter highly understandable and enjoyable was his continual use of analogy and metaphor.  From explaining physiological processes like "modulation" through comparing it to the comedian Lily Tomlin's switchboard operator, or "central sensitization" as similar to "when Mom's (the CNS) not happy, no one's (the peripheral nerves and tissues) happy, Nelson manages to make the process(es) and mystery of pain fascinating and accessible.  I highly recommend this book to everyone who provides care to or loves anyone in pain, whether you are a bodyworker, nurse, physician, social worker, or family member.  As a bodyworker and as one struggling now with a seemingly chronic pain situation, Nelson's book gave me a dose of hope and a bigger dose of compassion, sympathy and empathy for others who struggle with pain consistently.  An excellent read!
