Reviews

The book would be most useful for residents and fellows during pain medicine rotation and for nonsurgical interventional spine specialists. It may be used as a reference by practicing interventional or noninterventional pain physicians, physical therapists, and others in healthcare with a particular interest in the spine. The book meets the needs of this audience. (Arthur Kitt, Doody's Book Reviews, April 17, 2020)
