Clinical Anatomy of the Spine, Spinal Cord, and ANS
By- Gregory Cramer, DC, PhD, Professor and Dean of Research, National University of Health Science, Lombard, IL, USA
- Susan Darby, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Anatomy, National University of Health Science, Lombard, IL, USA
With its unique clinical perspective and evidence-based coverage, Clinical Anatomy of the Spine, Spinal Cord, and ANS is the definitive reference for applying anatomic considerations to the evaluation and management of conditions of the spine and associated neural structures, including spinal impingement and subluxation. High-quality color illustrations and photographs, as well as abundant radiographs, CT, and MRI images, visually demonstrate specific anatomic and neuromusculoskeletal relationships and highlight structures that may be affected by manual and surgical spinal techniques or other diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
