Here is the first book to comprehensively cover the anatomy, biomechanics and physiology of the neck. Six easy-to-follow chapters systematically guide readers to a full understanding of the latest functional anatomy, evaluation and treatment concepts of the cervical spine and thoracic outlet region. This one-of-a-kind text clearly illustrates the relationship between the central nervous system and related areas of the cervical spine. It focuses on restoring function by separating cervical pain from dysfunction.
This book offers great explanations and anatomical illustrations related to cervical dysfunction. Photos of dissections are accompanied by clearly marked drawings that make this text a very thorough musculoskeletal review of the neck. I found the text to be easy to follow. The functional assessment section is lengthy and thorough, though the differential diagnosis section is quite brief. Treatment of neck disorders is also not thoroughly explored. The addition of cervical segmental stability principles and techniques would make this book invaluable. As it is, it is a good addition to a physiotherapist's library.
