Infos

This book fills the gap in knowledge and patient care by showing spine surgeons how to integrate pain management techniques into their practice. The first of its kind, Integrating Pain Treatment into Your Spine Practice is in tune with current efforts by major neurosurgical and neuromodulation societies and leading manufacturers of neuromodulation equipment to educate spine surgeons on the management of their patients' post-surgical pain.   

Designed as an all-in-one volume, this book explains how to identify candidates for pain treatment and when to refer them to specialists. It also presents 'how-to' clinical information on approaches to managing pain, from the medical to the interventional  and provides practical business guidance on coding and reinforcement.   

Dr. Falowski is Director of Functional Neurosurgery at St. Lukes University Health Network in Bethlehem, PA with a practice involving spinal procedures, as well as neuromodulation. He trained in complex spinal procedures at Thomas Jefferson University, as well as completed a functional fellowship at Rush University.  

He is faculty of both Congress of Neurological Surgeons and American Association of Neurological Surgeons, as well as a board member of the CNS/AANS Pain Committee. He is on the board of directors for the North American Neuromodulation Society(NANS) as well as scientific program chair for the annual meetings.    

His major focus in society and industry revolves around education, integration of specialties, and practice management. He is the course director of the annual NANS spinal cord stimulation/neuromodulation workshop that is the largest international course available and brought to the forefront the integration of neuromodulation among various specialties including Pain, Neurology, and Neurosurgery. He also serves as course director for educational offerings across multiple surgical and pain societies including course director of the AANS workshop focusing on integrating pain therapies in spine practices.  

  

Dr. Pope, a Springer author, is a Cleveland Clinic-trained pain physician and anesthesiologist who prior to joining Dr. Timothy Deer's Center for Pain Relief, Charleston, WV as a physician partner taught at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. He is member of the American Society of Regional Anesthesia's 2014 Faculty Cadaver Section and editor and writer of the American Society of Anesthesiologist's Self-Assessment Module on Pain Medicine, an online course in the ASA's Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology offerings.
