5.0 out of 5 stars
A quintessential guide for chiropractic physicians,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rehabilitation of the Spine: A Practitioner's Manual (Hardcover)
Dr. Liebenson's book is an excellent compilation of research and expert opinion for the care of spinal and extremity related disorders. It gives the practitioner a resource to utilize for difficult as well as simple cases of musculoskeletal dysfunction that plagues millions of americans each year. The guidelines of care move from the passive (traditional chiropractic manipulation and physiological therapeutics) to the active (progressive rehabilitive exercises and patient education) in order to restore optimal functional mobility to the patient. As a senior chiropractic intern, I have taken a rehabilitation course at Logan College of Chiropractic that uses this text as its core reference. Additionally, I have integrated the scientific principles given and have seen my patients respond well. This text is a must for the chiropractic physician.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Chiropractic and rehabilitation are a natural fit!,
By Dr. Frank M. Painter (La Grange, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rehabilitation of the Spine: A Practitioner's Manual (Hardcover)
This book includes the core materials from which Dr. Liebenson crafted LACC's 3 year rehabilitation diplomate program. I attended the program here in Chicago (96 to 99), and found this book to be an invaluable supplement to those materials.Each chapter is written by a specialist in that topic, and includes outcome assessment, Janda's assessment of muscular imbalance, the McKenzie technique, and the numerous chapters on active treatment protocols. The sections on self-stretches, patient education, and especially Chapter 18, the "Active Rehab Protocols" will take you step-by-step in analysis and management of a wide spectrum of complaints from acute to chronic. The only thing that could be better would be the next edition, or by taking the 30 classes from LACC. This book is a must for every pracitioner who wants to improve their results with the variety of disorders that present to us each day. Enjoy!
