How is this book different from Integrative Orthopedics and Integrative Rheumatology?
- This book contains a thorough review of fibromyalgia and a more detailed explication of functional medicine precepts.
- The Orthopedics and Rheumatology books are more detailed with regard to clinical examination and different diseases, whereas the monograph provides an overview of the functional medicine approach and then details low-back pain (Ortho), migraine headaches (Ortho), rheumatoid arthritis (Rheum), and fibromyalgia--pain monograph ONLY.
- Loaded with "clinical pearls"!!

"Research-based knowledge for the most effective way to treat disease from a functional medicine perspective is right here—at your fingertips. You won't have to look further. This work is to be applauded for its thoroughness.” – Michael W. Loes, MD, Director of the Arizona Pain Institute, Author of The Healing Response

“Dr. Vasquez provides a thoroughly researched, scientific perspective which challenges the way you consider and treat the chronic pain patient. His work provides a new paradigm which will lead the way in pain management for years to come.” – Heather Kahn, MD, Grants Pass, OR

"Dr. Vasquez's review with original contributions on Pain and Inflammation is well paced and relentlessly cogent. This meticulous and exhaustively referenced monograph is complete, and one feels no need to go to another source. The highest praise to Alex for this!" – Ron D'Agostino, DO, L’Anse, MI

"In his latest endeavor, Dr. Vasquez brings forth a very thorough and well-rounded monograph that allows both the student and practitioner to gain a better understanding of a highly complex and difficult to treat condition." – Mark Grosman, DC
