Il Dolore Vertebrale

Large-format volume (22 x 28 cm), 310 pages, 215 illustrations. Book plus enclosed CD-ROM.

In this volume the Author goes beyond traditional school constraints and partisan views and, relying on solid scientific evidence, clearly discusses the different assessment and treatment approaches to disabilities mainly characterized by vertebral pain. He clearly and precisely presents the most up-to-date anatomical and physiological knowledge of the structural components of the spine, dispelling many prejudices and pseudo-scientific assumptions.

The book also provides the necessary tools for a rational and modern semiology of the vertebral column, in order to accurately identify the causes of the various pain syndromes and, consequently, to choose the most appropriate therapeutic approach.

An enclosed CD-ROM contains digital videos of the diagnostic and therapeutic maneuvers described in the text.

Original price was: €75,00.Current price is: €40,00.
