A must-have book for understanding one of the most fundamental
areas of physical therapy: the nervous system and its relationship
to musculoskeletal pain. Osteopath, lecturer and author John
Gibbons offers an accessible introduction to the peripheral nervous
system (PNS). Alongside real case studies and guidelines for
hands-on work with clients and patients, The Vital Nerves
demystifies and makes accessible everything from how to diagnose
nerve conditions to understanding how our cells communicate.
Gibbons provides critical insights into the structure and functions
of the PNS; the body's response to stimuli and how it knows what to
do; the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems;
understanding the stress response; and how reflex testing can aid
in diagnosing conditions like Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's
Disease, and paresthesias. The Vital Nerves addresses practical,
common considerations like how to: Assess the nervous system using
a patella (reflex) hammer, myotome (muscle) testing and dermatome
(sensory) testing Determine whether pain in the posterior part of
the thigh is caused by the sciatic nerve, piriformis or simply a
hamstring strain Decide at what level a disc may have herniated
Differentiate between upper and lower motor neurone disorders Know
what to do with the findings of your neurological assessment and
the circumstances under which to refer patients for more specialist
care. The Vital Nerves is a comprehensive, must-have roadmap to the
functional anatomy of the nervous system. Enriched with anatomical
drawings and detailed explanations, it explains neurological
testing, common neuropathies, and differential diagnoses, and is an
indispensable resource for physical therapists and bodyworkers.
