Overview

Subluxation is the loss of joint alignment and integrity. This book describes such injury to the spine. Packed with illustrations and photographs, including advanced imaging (CT scan and MRI) of sections of the spine and pelvis, the atlas makes it easy to recognize the characteristic patterns of subluxations. The common types of changes that occur in the structures of the spine have been classified, documented, and arranged in the order of progressive severity of dislocation and degeneration.

Reviews

Because of its detailed nature, this atlas would be of most interest to orthopaedic physical therapists specializing in spinal dysfunction. It would also make a valuable addition to the anatomy reference collection of physical therapy schools, departments, and office practices. -The Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy documents CT Scan, MRI, x-ray, and dissection studies of spinal pathologies, which should be important to all healthcare professionals. -American Journal of Clinical Chiropractic an excellent resource for chiropractors who want to improve the quality of care in their practice. -Today's Chiropractic
