"Practical & well-illustrated, this is a technique guide & also a compendium of hundreds of orthopedic tests available to chiropracters." Appropriate for: Chiropractic Professionals, Chiropractic Students.

Chiropractors are recognized specialists in spinal pain. But today, as chiropractors move increasingly into primary care roles, it's not uncommon to see patients with coughs, fever, abdominal pain, and dozens of other nonmusculoskeletal symptoms. Differential Diagnosis for the Chiropractor covers the range of complaints commonly seen in daily practice--including neurologic, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, cardiopulmonary, and many other concerns and conditions. With easy-to-follow algorithms and concise explanatory text, this timely handbook helps the practitioner evaluate a patient's complaint in the context of a chiropractor's scope of practice.

This is serious stuff. The most widely used medical text in the world and the hypochondriac's bible, the Merck has the lowdown on the vast expanse of human diseases, disorders and injuries, as well as their symptoms and recommended therapy. It's intended for physicians and medical students, but though the type is tiny and the language technical, the Merck's a valuable volume for anyone with more than a passing interest in bodily ills.

Social, physical, emotional, and environmental stresses cannot fully explain the phenomenon of head pain.   Eighteen contributions from Australia, England, Canada, and the US synthesize current principles, patient models, and musculoskeletal integrative treatment rationales and techniques into a generic model of head pain management.   Among the topics: posture, classification of headaches, nutrition, diagnostic imaging, medications and chemicals, craniofacial orthopedics, and an overview of cranial manipulation.

An in-depth text which combines the present knowledge of dietary supplements and injury rehabilitation into one source.   The goal of the text is to support the rational use of specific nutrients for specific healing conditions, as indicated by research.  Guidelines for nutritional programs applied to specific conditions are provided, allowing practical application of the enormous amount of research to be incorporated in practice

FROM: doc@danville.net from Danville, IL , May 20, 1998
Excellent resource for practitioners and students I bought this book while in school, and found it to be the best resource for most of my core classes.   It covers EVERYTHING about the practice of Chiropractic: Radiology (positioning and analysis), examination, adjusting (different techniques are covered).   A MUST have for ANY medical library. A CORE peice for EVERY Chiropractic library.

Contributions from anatomy, pathology, biomechanics, clinical medicine, neurosurgery, chiropractic, osteopathy and physiotherapy highlight the value of a team approach to appreciating the complexity of neck pain and a range of treatment approaches. Section one provides an overview of the neuroanatomy of the cervical spine. Section two details the clinical anatomy, pathology and biomechanics of the cervical spine. Section three covers diagnosis and management.

This text provides a systematic approach to orthopedic assessment and understanding of the reason for the various aspects of the assessment.   It takes reader through history, observationand examination of each joint of the body

Much of the material in this text grew out of the Upper Cervical Spine Conference conducted in Toronto, January 25-26, 1986.   Focus is on functional derangements of the vertebral column and their effects, rather than on pathological afflictions or congenital anomalies.   Topics include normal anatomy and physiology of the upper cervical spine, applied pathomechanics and clinical management, and specialized clinical topics such as headache diagnosis, equilibrium disorders, and vertebral artery syndrome.   Many tables, illustrations, and references.
