Medical Management of Acute and Chronic Low Back Pain: Pain Research and Clinical Management Series, Volume 13 (Pain Research and Clinical Management)

The book summarizes the best available evidence of the management of acute and chronic low back pain. The evidence is presented in a clinically relevant order, to guide the practitioner through understanding the problem, taking a history, performing an examination, ordering investigations, and eventually prescribing treatment. At times the text is provocative and controversial with its thought-stimulating approach. The style reflects the authors' personae, is user friendly, and promotes communication.
