Synopsis

The first of its kind, this unique pocket guide includes diagnostic criteria as well as standardised treatment guidelines and protocols. The text provides chiropractors and chiropractic students with quick access to information about the most common presenting conditions and disorders. The editors and contributors have developed standardised management guidelines and protocols with the help of the most highly respected reference sources available within the chiropractic and orthopaedic communities. This is the only text to compile pertinent information from the following landmark events in the chiropractic profession: The Rand Studies; The AHCPR Guidelines; The Quebec Task Force; The Mercy Conference Guidelines; The Royal College of General Practitioners, London; and the Manga Report, Ontario's Ministry of Health. These research conferences, guidelines, task forces, etc have attempted to compile protocols for the chiropractic professions. Organised by commonly encountered orthopaedic disorders, the contents are formatted for accessibility and easy retrieval of pertinent information. Examination and diagnostic criteria closely follow history and examination protocols currently used throughout the chiropractic area. Differential diagnosis, orthopaedic, neurological and radiographic sections outline what a chiropractor might expect to find with any given disorder, in a quick reference manner. The emphasis of the book is on management protocol.
