Don't waste your time or money

This book is a cash grab. Seeking to cash in on a previously well written book with Winnie, Waldman seriously insults the intelligence of his would be readers. Not only are the diagrams cell-shaded, but they were over simplified to the point of being useless. Also I recall at one point he advocates using steroids in his approach to the stellate ganglion in the treatment of CRPS, no safe practitioner would do this. Nor is there any valid evidence to support this. I have repeatedly cautioned anyone interested in chronic pain from buying this book.

Destined to Be the Gold-Standard Textbook in its Class

May31st, 2000

Other manuals of Pain Mangement techniques exist, however Dr. Steve Waldman's command of anatomy, clinical disease, and far-reaching vision of the specialty of Interventional Pain Mangement has, for two-decades, been a source of inspiration and courage for younger clinical practitioners in the specialty. The current Hardcover volume is superbly illustrated, with clear instructions, and an encyclopedic-volume of possible pain management procedures to offer patients suffering from a wide variety of clinical sydromes. The author is to be, once again, congratulated for his efforts. I refer to this text regularly in my clinic, and recommend it whole-heartedly.

most comprehensive text to date on IPM
