Lumbar Spine Syndromes - Evaluation and Treatment (Hardcover)

The title expresses most succinctly the subject of this book. No previous publication has attempted to present the differential diagnosis of low back pain, starting with the clinical presentation of the patient to the physician and carrying the discussion through to the conclusion of care in the correct sequential manner. The discussion of each of the syndromes centers upon a decision analysis format which is also a new approach to this difficult subject. Readers will be able to develop the matrix for coherent thought and ease of future recall. Their patient care should then follow easily.
