The second edition of the Handbook of Clinical Chiropractic Care is a concise, quick-access handbook that covers the more common conditions seen in a chiropractic practice. Where possible, an evidence-based approach is presented, but it must be understood that a purely evidence-based practice is impossible to achieve in any form of health care. Instead the clinician must use the best available evidence, clinical experience and a "pinch" of intuition to manage his/her patients.
This is a handy reference that provides a library of practical information in a single volume. When you need fast, up-to-date information on specific diagnostic and treatment regimens such as orthopedic and neurologic testing, indications and contraindications for manipulation, mobilization procedures or information to assist in analyzing test results, this is the first place to turn. Absolutely packed with charts, tables, and algorithms for quick reference.
Evidence-based, quick reference with large index and table of contents, wide range of topics covered (orthopedics, rheumatology,neurology, physical examination, laboratory testing, low back pain management, neck pain management, manipulation/adjusting, physical medicine procedures, pedictrics, geriatrics, health care ethics), and an entire chapter devoted to a quick overview of common conditions seen by chiropractors.
