Opis

This master text from a living legend includes in-depth coverage of the diagnosis, evaluation, theoretical framework, and treatment of vertebral pain. Reviewing basic mainstream medical knowledge regarding painful conditions of spinal and vertebral origin, the world-renowned author examines the anatomic, developmental, and pathological conditions known to produce pain. These pain syndromes include headache, shoulder and neck pain, mid and low back pain, and disorders that involve the abdomen and extremities. The section on the use of manual techniques provides a bridge between the medical treatment paradigm and practitioners who use manual approaches.
