Paperback. This book documents the techniques chiropractors use on a day-to-day basis and provides a specific biomechanical approach to the art of chiropractic adjusting. Features of the book include: chiropractic management of spinal fractures and dislocations covered for the first time; chiropractic management of visceral disorders never before covered in any book; only specific, biomechanically sound adjustuve techniques are described; a three-dimensional overlay is superimposed on the illustrations to aid visualizing spatial orientation; a chapter on chiropractic approaches to pregnancy and pediatric care; a chapter on clinical anatomy and biomechanics of the spine; and chapters on extremity injuries, diagnosis and adjustment techniques.Clinicians often find it difficult to communicate the techniques that they practice. Due to the isolation of clinical practice, there has been a paucity of literature available for the practicing chiropractor or student, since few clinicians have taken on the task of docu- menting what they do. This text focuses in a specific manner on the clinical applications that chiropractors provide on a day-to-day basis. The list of contributors, practicing chi- ropractors as well as academicians, demonstrates thatthe clinical practice of chiropractic serves as the basis for the book.Textbook ofClinical Chiropractic provides a very specific approach to the art of spinal adjusting; the adjustive maneuvers presented facilitate normal biomechanics. Too often, manipulativeprocedures have been applied with blatant disregard for normal physiology and anatomy. Care in applying the adjustive art is stressed throughout the text. The flexible pediatric spine, which is resilient to seemingly innocuous forces, deserves the same care- fully applied adjustment that an adult's spine would require. If the clinician carefully applies the adjustment in all instances, regardless of the age or state of the patient, then he or she should be more able to accommodatethe patient suffering from severe spinal trauma, such as a disc herniation, spinal fracture, or dislocation.
