Introduction to Manual Medicine

The scope and practice of manual medicine is given a broad, yet sufficiently detailed overview in this book. It is clearly and logically organized and describes theoretical aspects and diagnostic as well as therapeutic procedures most commonly used today. A selection of illustrative case reports completes the book. Intended as an introduction for the professional unfamiliar with manual medicine and its role in treating neuro-musculo-skeletal disorders, the book nevertheless also offers the expert stimulating reading. A delicate balance is achieved between brevity and carefully selected specific details, combining the thoughts of the various schools (allopathic, osteopathic and chiropractic) practicing manual medicine.
