Description
This evidence-based text relates clinical chiropractic management to pediatrics, with coverage of the key aspects of syndromes most commonly
seen by chiropractors working with children. It outlines the essential history-taking, physical assessment, diagnosis and management
for each syndrome, while addressing relevant pathology of pediatric conditions in as much detail as chiropractors need. No other text
offers a perspective on pediatrics that is specifically designed for chiropractic management!
Audience
Trainee and practising chiropractors.
