This book is designed to be an overview of spinal anatomy and pathology as well as a perusal of examination, diagnosis, and treatment techniques. Although it is a new work, it uses information published previously in Europe. The purpose is to provide an overview of spinal orthopedic medicine emphasizing manual treatment techniques. With the enormity of spinal pathology seen in physical therapy, additions to spinal assessment and treatment techniques are most worthy objectives. The authors successfully add valuable information to a field already served by a plethora of literature. The authors have directed their effort toward any clinician who encounters or will encounter people with pain from their temporomandibular joint to their sacrum. The information is diverse, specific, and technical enough to be useful to any level or practitioner. This book has numerous pertinent illustrations. They include anatomical and biomechanical drawings, CT and radiographic pictures, as well as cadaver and model photographs to demonstrate every aspect of the author's diverse subject. There are adequate numbers of references to complement the illustrations. Although the references are sometimes dated from the first half of this century, the authors have added chapters on specific research. Besides an adequate table of contents and index, this book provides separate, thorough tables of contents before each chapter. Additionally, there are seven extra chapters dealing with topics from prevention to exercise to the use of modalities. There are also four appendixes that help to consolidate diagnosis and treatment. This work is a meticulously thorough study of problems of the entire spinal cord.Although there is an emphasis on manual treatment techniques, other treatment strategies are adequately discussed. Additionally, the authors have thoroughly reviewed the underlying biomechanical causes for the back pain that is so pervasive in the orthopedic patient population.

Getting the right diagnosis is a key aspect of health care - it provides an explanation of a patient's health problem and informs subsequent health care decisions. The diagnostic process is a complex, collaborative activity that involves clinical reasoning and information gathering to determine a patient's health problem. According to Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, diagnostic errors-inaccurate or delayed diagnoses-persist throughout all settings of care and continue to harm an unacceptable number of patients. It is likely that most people will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime, sometimes with devastating consequences. Diagnostic errors may cause harm to patients by preventing or delaying appropriate treatment, providing unnecessary or harmful treatment, or resulting in psychological or financial repercussions. The committee concluded that improving the diagnostic process is not only possible, but also represents a moral, professional, and public health imperative. Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, a continuation of the landmark Institute of Medicine reports To Err Is Human (2000) and Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001), finds that diagnosis-and, in particular, the occurrence of diagnostic errorsâ€"has been largely unappreciated in efforts to improve the quality and safety of health care. Without a dedicated focus on improving diagnosis, diagnostic errors will likely worsen as the delivery of health care and the diagnostic process continue to increase in complexity. Just as the diagnostic process is a collaborative activity, improving diagnosis will require collaboration and a widespread commitment to change among health care professionals, health care organizations, patients and their families, researchers, and policy makers. The recommendations of Improving Diagnosis in Health Care contribute to the growing momentum for change in this crucial area of health care quality and safety.
