by Meridel I. Gatterman (Editor)
Hardcover: 608 pages ISBN: 0323026486
Publisher: C.V. Mosby; 2nd edition (March 31, 2005) |
| Now updated in its 2nd edition,

practice. Focusing on three facets of spinal subluxation--the articular lesion,
subluxation theories, and subluxation syndromes--it explains the practical principles and
the evidence-based research behind safe and effective chiropractic care. Scientific
evidence is presented for indications and contraindications of subluxation, along with
term definitions, basic science and anatomy, subluxation causes, radiographic evidence,
manipulable and nonmanipulable subluxation, a theoretical model, and subluxation
syndromes. Many of the most respected names in chiropractic have contributed chapters to
this book and present the common ground of chiropractic in a logical and understandable
manner. |

Psychology
by Eyal Lederman

Pub: Churchill Livingstone; 2nd edition (March 31, 2005) |
This practical book offers an
extensive examination of how manual therapy (MT) techniques work, and how to match the

* Text is enhanced by over 120 diagrams, photographs and tables.
* Manual pain relief is extensively discussed throughout the book.
* Section 1 examines the direct effects of manual therapy on connective tissue and muscle
physiology, examining how MT can help assist repair and adaptation processes in these
tissues.
* Section 2 examines the effect of MT on the neuromuscular system, identifying conditions
where neuromuscular dysfunctions can be treated by MT.
* Section 3 examines the psychological, emotional and behavioral impacts of MT, in
addition to the psychophysiological affects of MT, including psychomotor, neuroendocrine,
and autonomic responses. |
