5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any clinician treating the Cervical Spine!, March 5, 2001

By 

GraberDC (Denville, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Conservative Management of Cervical Spine Syndromes (Hardcover)

Dr. Murphy has produced the state of the art text in the conservative management of the Cervical spine. Covered are the basic sciences, most common clincal syndromes, evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation, and management. Taking a multi-disciplinary approach, this book serves Chiropractic physicians, Physiatrists, physical therapists, Osteopathic physicians, and all clinicians with a need and interest in understading conservative Cervical spine care.

Among therapeutic approaches covered are manipulation, soft-tissue techniques, the Mckenzie protocol, sensorimotor rehabilitation, cervical stabilization, exercises, psychological management, and surgical.

Clinical conditions include Cervical trauma, motor vehicle collisions, headaches, Cervical radicular and pseudoradicular syndromes, joint dysfunction, myofascial syndromes, vertigo, disequilibrium, orofacial pain, temporomandibular disorders, and neuropsychological dysfunction.

Of all the fine information contained in this work, my favorite portions consist of the quite frequent "Clinical Pearls" interspersed thoughout each chapter. These are Dr. Murphy's own personal commentaries, practical clinical tips, and observations. They add immeasurably to the usefulness of the information in daily practice.

This review is from: Conservative Management of Cervical Spine Syndromes (Hardcover)

This book is a must have text for physicians of all disciplines who treat traumatic injuries of the cervcal spine.

Traumatic inuries (i.e. fracture, dislocation,etc.) and soft tissue injuries are addressed as well as diagnoses and mechanisms of injury.

Medical legal issues are addressed and relevant information is presented eloquently for the physician.
