5.0 out of 5 stars The best resource on sacroiliac problems available, July 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Movement, Stability and Low Back Pain: The Essential Role of the Pelvis, 1e (Hardcover)

This book brings together the greatest amount of current clinical and basic science information on the importance of the pelvis, and particularly, the sacroiliac joints, and their relation to low back pain. The traditional medical model has assumed for years that only spinal structures, such as the discs and facet joints, are important in low back pain syndrome. This book clearly identifies the role of the sacroiliac joints in producing low back pain and provides information on both conservative and surgical treatment.
