DANGER SIGNS! The Contraindications and Proper Applications of Spinal Manipulation is a medical text to be used by Chiropractors and other practitioners of spinal and pelvic manipulation with special attention to malpractice attorneys. The beginning chapters discuss the proper standard of chiropractic care with special consideration for the providers of medical manipulation to perform differential diagnosis procedures to rule out if the patient is not a candidate for spinal or pelvic manipulation. The Danger Signs of when not to render medical manipulation are discussed. The final chapters are actual court cases that Dr., Andrew M. Rodgers was the opining expert witness in and other types of cases. These are the repercussions of not following the correct standard of care and ruling out which patients are candidates for medical manipulative services. This book is a great guide for medical providers, attorneys and student of both fields.

The new edition of this popular book continues to present the latest scientific evidence for the successful use of the high velocity low amplitude (HVLA) thrust technique. Prepared in a readily accessible, amply illustrated format, this book is designed to equip practitioners with a detailed understanding of the underlying basis of the HVLA thrust technique and the best means to safely employ it in the effective management of a range of disorders of the spine and pelvic regions. The book is arranged in three sections to maximise understanding of what can be challenging areas to comprehend and effectively manage. Section One explores the biomechanics of movement and forces between adjacent vertebrae followed by a discussion of positioning and 'locking'. These chapters are then followed by a discussion about safety with particular reference to the management of the cervical spine. A chapter on evidence – and what represents good medical evidence – concludes. Section Two presents – using an ample array of clear photographs and useful summary boxes – over 40 HVLA techniques ranging from the atlanto-occipital joint (C0-C1) to the coccyx. Section Three concludes with treatment failures (often, technique derived) and analysis. Prepared by authors of international renown - and now with an associated website containing over 45 minutes of useful film footage - this book will be ideal for all manual therapy practitioners dealing with the management of the spine and pelvic areas. - Presents the scientific basis of the HVLA thrust – one of the oldest and most commonly used manipulative techniques available - Provides an accessible synthesis of the latest evidence for the effective use of the HVLA thrust - Clearly explains coupled motion and describes the latest scientific research in this area - Presents over 250 photographs, and 60 minutes of film on an associated website - Contains a detailed discussion regarding patient safety - Presents a comprehensive discussion surrounding treatment failures - Well illustrated and clearly written for easy understanding - Advises readers with regards to safe patient selection – particularly important for the management of the cervical spine - Suitable for both the novice and expert readerships - 2-colour throughout with over 30 new images - Clinical history, presentation and examination for patients presenting with cervical artery dissection - Addresses the important issues surrounding patient consent - Additional research and guidelines that support the: - use of HVLA thrust techniques - use of spinal manipulation in the treatment of radiculopathy, pregnant women and children

Renamed A Practical Approach to Musculoskeletal Medicine, to reflect globally understood terminology, it focuses on the principles and practice of musculoskeletal medicine, providing practical guidance and tips for clinical practice based on extensive clinical experience and evidence. The book is split into three sections. Section 1 presents the theory underpinning musculoskeletal medicine. The histology and behaviour of the soft tissues follow, with a review of the healing process, to enhance understanding of the effects of injury on the soft tissues. The first section ends with the principles of treatment as applied in musculoskeletal medicine and discusses the techniques of mobilization and injection, aims and application, and indications for use. Section 2 adopts a regional approach. Anatomy is presented, including useful tips on surface marking to locate commonly injured anatomical structures. Assessment, lesions and treatment techniques are discussed for each region as appropriate for the stage in the healing process. Section 3 provides resources to support the recording of assessment and to ensure safety, especially whilst learning the musculoskeletal medicine approach. A Practical Approach to Musculoskeletal Medicine comprehensively and critically discusses current literature. It is a complete reference source for students and postgraduate medical practitioners, physiotherapists, osteopaths and other allied health professionals, including occupational therapists and podiatrists.
