Neck and back pain are common symptoms which vary from the trivial
to the incapacitating. Conventional medical textbooks concentrate
disproportion ately on those causes which have clear-cut diagnostic
patterns and pathological features demonstrable by investigations.
Discussions of treatment often overemphasize the importance of the
tiny minority of patients who proceed to surgery. Real life is very
different. The majority of patients who consult their general
practitioners do not suffer from readily categorized diseases, have
no diagnostic investigational signs, and often respond to treatment
in no other way than that expected from the passage of time. It is
not surprising that such a situation has led to the emergence of a
number of gurus, both orthodox and unorthodox, who provide
diagnostic labels and treatment methods united by only one thing -
certainty. I had expected two such prominent exponents of
manipulative techniques as the authors of this book to be among
those offering certainty and demanding blind acceptance but I was
wrong. This book explores the scientific basis for treatment and
evaluates a vru: iety of therapeutic options. It offers an approach
to assessment and treatment which is overtly pragmatic but firmly
based in conventional clinical medicine. It is a book which invites
discussion, comment and criticism in an area where many texts offer
little but dogmatism."
