Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
This clinical reference offers you a unique perspective on the diagnosis and management of low back pain. The logical symptom-based approach mimics the clinical situation: patients typically present with pain and it is the physician's task to arrive at the correct diagnosis. Using the patient history and physical examination as a means of formulating an initial impression and rehabilitation plan, clinicians will learn how to evaluate a patient who complains of low back or leg pain. Providing sound clinical approaches to the management of low back pain, this text is a necessity for physiatrists and physical therapists involved in the care of patients with low back pain. The diagnosis and treatment of low back pain in three different patient populations: adolescents, adults, and geriatric patients is covered. You will learn the thought processes the authors go through and the ancillary tests they use to arrive at correct diagnoses for patients of varying ages. The second part of the book provides state-of-the-art information on specific topics, including injection therapy, electrodiagnosis, chronic pain management, and medications.
