Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews of the second edition: “This new book shows how osteoporosis can be reliably diagnosed, treated and prevented while it continues to remain undetected among patients and continues to severe physical, social, functional and psychological consequences including increased mortality and morbidity. Doctor Adler and his famous contributors have reliably extended the excellent work of Doctors Eric S Orwoll and Michael Bliziotes in exploring this disorder … . Comprehensive therapists can improve this unfortunate situation and will aided in their quest by studying this new book.” (William H. Wehrmacher and Harry Messmore, Comprehensive Therapy, Spring, 2010)
