About this title

Review:

""Abother bible on injection skills written by Monica Kesson, Elaine Atkins and Dr Ian Davies. The aim of this book is to encourage accurate placement of injectable steroids to the target tissues, thereby gaining maximum benefit rather than resorting to the prescription of NSAID or resorting to prolonged ineffectual treatment. I recommend this book to all practitioners who administer injections or who wish to administer injections."" Eamonn O Muircheartaigh, Physiotherapy Ireland chapters give an extensive list of up to date references at the endof each chapter. This book should be extremely useful as an undergraduate text, for preparation of undergraduate lecture programmes and a quick reference guide in the clinical setting. I have no hesitation in recommending it."" Ken Monaghan, Physiotherapy Ireland
