Key Features
  • Edited and authored by a team of well known individuals in the areas of biochemistry and functional anatomy of the spine
  • Provides scientific information on the mechanics of spinal manipulation, an area largely ignored in the current literature on this subject.
  • Case studies illustrate the application of biomechanics to clinical practice, demonstrating how abstract concepts are applied in real life situation
  • Review of basic principles underlying spinal manipulation ensures the reader has learned basic concepts before moving on to more complex areas
  • Many illustrations, inluding a variety of line drawings, photos, and radiographs, lend crucial visual support to the content material.
