Description
Back and neck problems constitute a major source of pain, discomfort and lost working days. This book provides a method of understanding,
diagnosing and treating spinal problems. `Back Pain: recognition and management': * discusses in detail the procedures necessary to
perform a thorough logical and comprehensive clinical examination; * correlates clinical findings with pathonanatomical and pathoneurophysiological
changes in the spine and offers an explanation for dysfunction; * outlines differential diagnoses and explains the circumstances requiring
additional investigations; * advises on useful manual therapeutic techniques and other forms of treatment available to the patient,
eg, injection and surgery; * gives advice on back care, ergonomics and prophylaxis. Extensively illustrated and thoroughly referenced,
this text will immediately become a useful reference book for orthopaedic physicians, physiotherapists and all those involved in the
treatment of acute and chronic pain.
