The subtitle of this book - A Holistic Approach to Rehabilitatio-
underscores our fundamental point of view regarding spinal
ailments. The patient with his ailments should be at the focus of
attention, yet the subtitle combines two important elements,
namely, "rehabilitation" and "holistic approach. " It is only by
combining both concepts to show that they do belong together that
the door to successful treatment of persons with vertebral problems
can be opened. Holistic medicine does not require an ideological
classification of its own, but should be under stood as a unified,
optimal form of medicine which encompasses the whole person: his
health and his illnesses in all their aspects. Too often, there is
an automatic, senseless separation of the two concepts. Purists in
one or the other camp need to recognize the common ground and to
eliminate the barriers that have been erected by extreme positions
and attacks. When we look back into history, we can see that there
have always been schools of medical thought that have promulgated
one or another direction. Evaluations and interpretations change in
accordance with our knowledge and the times themselves, but that
which is most valu able remains in end effect, forming the starting
point for following gen erations. It should be noted that the
entire body of medical knowledge had its beginnings in empiricism,
whose ideas could not be confirmed and supported until much later,
parallel with the developments in research technology."
