Very Good book for orthopedics class and chiro boards
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This was a recommended text in my chiropractic college for my orthopedics class. I found the illustrations very helpful with learning the orthopedic tests which seemed so overwhelming at first. I kept practicing these tests with my friends before the lab test and got good grades. The national boards do use this text as a reference, I highly recommend using this book to study for the boards for either Part II, III, or IV. For x-ray portions of boards -more so in Part III and IV---I highly recommend Skeletal Radiology by Terry Yochum. This is a definite must buy as well as Patrick Leonardi's National Board of Chiropractic Part II, Part III and Part IV study guides. The questions were great and helped me to concentrate on the important topics of high yield questions asked on the boards. Thanks Terry Yochum, Patrick Leonardi and Ronald Evans for making my life much easier in chiropractic school and on the boards.
