Nortin Hadler knows backaches. For more than three decades as a
physician and medical researcher, he has studied the experience of
low back pain in people who are otherwise healthy. Hadler terms the
low back pain that everyone suffers at one time or another
""regional back pain."" In this book, he addresses the history and
treatment of the ailment with the healthy skepticism that has
become his trademark, taking the ""Hadlerian"" approach to
backaches and the backache treatment industry in order to separate
the helpful from the hype. Basing his critique on an analysis of
the most current medical literature as well as his clinical
experience, Hadler argues that regional back pain is overly
medicalized by doctors, surgeons, and alternative therapists who
purvey various treatment regimens. Furthermore, he observes, the
design of workers' compensation, disability insurance, and other
""health"" schemes actually thwarts getting well. For the past half
century, says Hadler, back pain and back pain-related disability
have exacted a huge toll, in terms of pain, suffering, and
financial cost. Stabbed in the Back addresses this issue at
multiple levels: as a human predicament, a profound social problem,
a medical question, and a vexing public-policy challenge.
Ultimately, Hadler's insights illustrate how the state of the
science can and should inform the art and practice of medicine as
well as public policy. Stabbed in the Back will arm any reader with
the insights necessary to make informed decisions when confronting
the next episode of low back pain.
Patrick van den Heede gilt gegenwartig als einer innovativsten
Osteopathen. In seinem englischsprachigen Buch beschreibt er die
Osteopathie als Kunst der Kommunikation mit dem Gewebe und erklart
den therapeutischen Wert dieses Bildes. Er beschreibt, wie das
Gewebe auf osteopathische Massnahmen reagiert - was wiederum
Einfluss auf Ihre Arbeit als Therapeut hat. Wie sich das Gewebe
verandert, sich umbaut und sich an eine Behandlung "erinnert",
zieht sich wie ein roter Faden durch die ubrigen Kapitel wie z.B.
Kapitel zur Embryologie, Histologie, Biochemie. Damit werden
Zusammenhangezwischen Theorie und Praxis auf wissenschaftlicher
Ebene fur Sie klar und verstandlich. Sie begreifen, wie Osteopathie
wirklich funktioniert und wie Sie Ihre Behandlungstechniken
verbessern koennen.
