The Clinical Anatomy And Management Of Thoracic Spine Pain

The Univ. of Queensland, Australia. Highlights a team approach to appreciating the complexity of thoracic spine pain and of treatment approaches. Highlights approaches from physiotherapy, osteopathy and chiropractic. For students and researchers. (Product Description).

This text is part of a series of three books bringing together a multidisciplinary approach to the management of mechanical spinal pain. The volume provides a review and analysis of clinically relevant information on the basic sciences leading to diagnosis and treatment.

This text highlights the value of a team approach to appreciating the complexity of spinal pain and a range of treatment approaches. Contemporary contributions from epidemiology, anatomy, pathology, biomechanics, clinical medicine orthopaedics, chiropractic, osteopathy and physiotherapy are presented. Each section, written by experienced experts, provides a summary of pertinent material which will lead to an improved understanding of the causes of cervical spine pain.

Edited by internationally recognized pain experts, this book offers 73 clinically relevant cases, accompanied by discussion in a question-and-answer format.

Bogduk aims to provide a foundation of knowledge upon which an understanding of the various treatment and therapy techniques of the different specialities involved can be built. This edition includes discussion of the sacrum and sacro-iliac joint.

A comprehensive account of the structure and function of the lumbar spine, which provides therapists with a basis for the diagnosis and management of low back pain and mechanical disorder. All material has been revised, references expanded and the chapter on biomechanics includes axes of rotation.

This one-of-a-kind text describes the specific anatomy and neuromusculoskeletal relationships of the human spine, with special emphasis on structures affected by manual spinal techniques. A comprehensive review of the literature explores current research of spinal anatomy and neuroanatomy, bringing practical applications to basic science. A full chapter on surface anatomy includes tables for identifying vertebral levels of deeper anatomic structures, designed to assist with physical diagnosis and treatment of pathologies of the spine, as well as evaluation of MRI and CT scans. High-quality, full-color illustrations show fine anatomic detail. Red lines in the margins draw attention to items of clinical relevance, clearly relating anatomy to clinical care. Spinal dissection photographs, as well as MRIs and CTs, reinforce important anatomy concepts in a clinical context. Revisions to all chapters reflect an extensive review of current literature. New chapter on the pediatric spine discusses the unique anatomic changes that take place in the spine from birth through adulthood, as well as important clinical ramifications. Over 170 additional illustrations and photos enhance and support the new information covered in this edition.
