Review

"Comprehensive is right! This outstanding rext provides an impressive collection of the knowledge relevant to the evaluation and management of low back pain and neck pain. Well written and offering clear and concise descriptions, the book is an excellent reference for anyone involved in the care of patients with back and neck pain. Low Back and Neck Pain represents a valuable resource for all healthcare professionals who are involved in the care of patients with low back pain or neck pain. It offers a great depth of knowledge with regard to the diagnosis and management of spinal disorders, and it also offers tabular information and capsular summaries that allow for a quick review between patients. It is particularly relevant for orthopaedic surgeons involved in spine care because it serves as both a review and an update of the diagnosis and management of back and neck pain." --Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, Vol 87-A, No 5.
