Overview

Content covers all aspects of the syndrome from anatomy to surgical approaches, including psychosocial issues. There is also a chapter on the paediatric patient and an overview of cerebrovascular accidents resulting from manual therapy in the upper cervical spine area. The clinical model presented is grounded in modern concepts of pain neurophysiology and provides a multi-dimensional approach to both acute and chronic craniocervical syndrome patients. The book emphasizes evidence-based practice, and includes a review of the scientific literature supporting the benefit of chiropractic manipulative therapy in the treatment of upper cervical pain syndrome.
