Book excerpt: "This third edition of Makofsky's Spinal Manual Therapy: An Introduction to Soft Tissue Mobilization, Spinal Manipulation, Therapeutic and Home Exercises marks the 20th anniversary of the publication's first edition. This comprehensive introductory text has been used for the instruction of manual therapy in academic programs across the country. It has been purposely written to incorporate an eclectic approach in ideologies and encourages integration of various treatment interventions. Simply put, it is not a "one size fits all" approach. While this textbook has served as a primary staple for physical therapy programs it is also intended to assist physicians, doctors of osteopathic medicine, doctors of chiropractic, physical therapist assistants, certified athletic trainers, and bodyworkers in their care for others. It is meant to imbue its readers and facilitate movement toward clinical excellence. The writing style and accompanying illustrations help simplify the presented concepts allowing for an easier translation into hands-on practice. Students often remark on the book's versatility to function as a textbook and lab manual all in one. So, what's new in the third edition? The most notable additions are the 40 instructive videos for select evaluation and treatment techniques. The aim of these videos is to walk the user through each technique step by step and allow for full control of viewing ease. Techniques chosen for videos were largely based on their level of complexity or frequency of use in daily practice. Voice-overs were added later for greater audio clarity. In addition to the videos other revisions include: Enhancement of existing content related to the Maitland approach including refinement of mobilization grades (I through V), stiff dominant/pain dominant movement diagrams, and detailed passive accessory intervertebral motion techniques Enhancement of existing content related to the McKenzie method including a clinical decision-making algorithm for the cervical and lumbar spine, and updated force progression illustrations for extension and lateral principles Enhancement of existing content related to neurodynamics including a recommended tri-level approach for patient examination and the addition of neurodynamic self-mobilization for home exercise Updated supportive peer-reviewed literature spanning the last 10 years of evidence-based practice Illustration, description, and diagnostic accuracy of select special tests Updates on the categories of pain, mechanisms of manual therapy, and pain neuroscience education Much of the foundational content remains in the third edition. As mentioned in the first edition, the goal of the textbook is "to make the complex simple." Manual therapy is an art form of healing touch based on science and its continuance as formal training is largely dependent on how many it touches and inspires. It is therefore our obligation to heighten interest through meaningful experiential learning, fellowship training, and mentoring. It is with great hope that this textbook serves as a first step for those headed in that direction"--

Book excerpt: Covering all commonly used interventions for acute and chronic low back pain conditions, Evidence-Based Management of Low Back Pain consolidates current scientific studies and research evidence into a single, practical resource. Its multidisciplinary approach covers a wide scope of treatments from manual therapies to medical interventions to surgery, organizing interventions from least to most invasive. Editors Simon Dagenais and Scott Haldeman, along with expert contributors from a variety of clinical and academic institutions throughout the world, focus on the best available scientific evidence, summarizing the results from the strongest to the weakest types of studies. No other book makes it so easy to compare the different interventions and treatment approaches, giving you the tools to make better, more informed clinical decisions. A multidisciplinary approach covers treatments from manual therapies to medical interventions to surgery, and many others in between. An interdisciplinary approach enables health care providers to work together. A logical, easy-to-follow organization covers information by intervention type, from least invasive to most invasive. Integration of interventions provides information in a clinically useful way, so it's easier to consider more than one type of treatment or intervention for low back pain, and easier to see which methods should be tried first. 155 illustrations include x-rays, photos, and drawings. Tables and boxes summarize key information. Evidence-based content allows you to make clinical decisions based on the ranking the best available scientific studies from strongest to weakest. Patient history and examination chapters help in assessing the patient's condition and in ruling out serious pathology before making decisions about specific interventions. Experienced editors and contributors are proven authors, researchers, and teachers, and practitioners, well known in the areas of orthopedics, pain management, chiropractic, physical therapy, and behavioral medicine as well as complementary and alternative medicine; the book's contributors include some of the leading clinical and research experts in the field of low back pain. Coverage based on The Spine Journal special issue on low back pain ensures that topics are relevant and up to date. A systematic review of interventions for low back pain includes these categories: patient education, exercise and rehabilitation, medications, manual therapy, physical modalities, complementary and alternative medicine, behavioral modification, injections, minimally invasive procedures, and surgery. Surgical interventions include decompression, fusion, disc arthroplasty, and dynamic stabilization. Additional coverage includes patient education and multidisciplinary rehabilitation.

Download or read book The Science and Clinical Application of Manual Therapy written by Hollis H. King and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2010-09-18 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Science and Clinical Application of Manual Therapy is a multi-disciplinary, international reference book based on work by the top basic science researchers and clinical researchers in the area of Manual Therapy and Manual Medicine (MT/MM). The first book to bring together research on the benefits of MT/MM beyond the known effects on musculoskeletal disorders, the volume presents evidence of the benefit of MT/MM in treating systemic disorders. This book makes a powerful case for how MT/MM affects the central nervous system and the autonomic effector systems (the circulatory, respiratory, gastrointestinal systems, and pelvic organs) which impact on a person’s health. The volume covers how MT/MM works and details the conditions – such as chronic skeletal and visceral pain diseases, asthma, pneumonia, and cardiovascular deregulation – that can benefit from it. Longstanding theoretical models of MT/MM mechanisms are critically assessed in the light of current understanding of physiological and neurophysiological function, and the influences of psychological and cortical processes on the effects of MT/MM are explored. The book, which is divided into four main sections, will appeal to osteopathic physicians, osteopaths, chiropractors, physical therapists and massage therapists, as well as all body workers/health practitioners who use their hands in health care. It will be of particular value to all practitioners involved in treatment of chronic pain disorders as well as those involved in basic and clinical research in this field. Authored by the leading multidisciplinary basic science and clinical researchers from throughout the world Describes research confirming benefit of MT for musculoskeletal disorders (which helps provide a rational for greater utilization of manual therapy and reimbursement for this healthcare service) Presents the latest findings on the beneficial effect of MT on systemic disorders including asthma, pneumonia, otitis media, heart rate dysfunction and GI disturbance Critically assesses longstanding theoretical models of MT/MM mechanisms with respect to the current understanding of physiological and neurophysiological function Explores the influences of psychological and cortical processes on the effects of MT/MM, including the effect of placebo Uniquely presents research findings from all the manual therapy professions and scientists making the case for the benefits of MT The symposium from which the book was derived was supported by the NIH National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine
