Review
Good overview of back, injuries, diseases & treatments; too much evaluation to make the book economical for PT students.
From the Publisher
This handbook is designed primarily for therapists who treat patients with low back pain but aren't considered specialists in the area. The etiology section details anatomy and biomechanics as well as diseases and disorders influencing the low back region. The next section, evaluation, includes epidemiology and taking a patient's history. The management section addresses both non-operative and post-surgical patients with low back pain.This handbook is designed primarily for therapists who treat patients with low back pain but aren't considered specialists in the area.
