Dispositionalism in Musculoskeletal Care: Understanding and Integrating Unique Characteristics of the Clinical Encounter to Optimize Patient Care (Paperback)

Reference:

Price: US$24.95

The aim of this book is to discuss contextual factors and the mechanisms at play during the management of musculoskeletal disorders. Knowledge and understanding of these factors can help clinicians to better understand their patients, themselves, and the interactions taking place during patient-clinician exchanges. The awareness of these dispositions can help physicians improve themselves and the care they deliver to patients, leading to a true patient-centered collaborative therapeutic alliance. Physician-patient collaboration is, in turn, associated with better patient adherence and outcomes, and care, delivered in a positive context, produces better outcomes.

A Holistic Approach to Musculoskeletal Treatment

Michael Vianin's groundbreaking text offers a sophisticated yet practical framework for understanding the complex interplay between patient dispositions and musculoskeletal care outcomes. Drawing from his extensive clinical experience and academic background, Vianin presents a comprehensive model that addresses crucial aspects often overlooked in traditional approaches, including pain catastrophizing, depression, sleep quality, and the critical role of clinician disposition in treatment success.

What distinguishes this work is its evidence-based integration of psychological and physical factors in patient care, emphasizing the importance of collaborative treatment approaches. Vianin's expertise as both a practicing chiropractor and academic shines through in his detailed yet accessible discussion of implementing dispositionalism in clinical settings. While some practitioners might find the model's comprehensive nature initially challenging to implement, the book provides clear, practical tools for application. This valuable resource fundamentally reimagines how healthcare professionals can better serve patients with musculoskeletal conditions by considering the full spectrum of factors influencing treatment outcomes. Highly recommended.

Practical Tools for Implementation in Patients

“Dispositionalism in Musculoskeletal Care” by Michael Vianin is an essential book for those of us working in the field of musculoskeletal disorders and pain management. In this book, the author introduces the concept of "dispositionalism," an approach that I personally really like because it shows the importance of understanding the unique characteristics of each clinical case to optimize patient care and that is exactly what medicine should focus on today.
One of the things that caught my attention the most about this reading is the practical way in which key topics that influence the treatment of pain are addressed, specifically depression and quality of sleep, which are two very important elements today in the mental and emotional health of patients. I definitely recommend this book because it has tools to be practically implemented in patients.
