Product description

Authored by experts of international renown, the new edition of The Biomechanics of Back Pain forms a bridge between the latest research and the effective clinical management of patients with back problems. Now published for the first time in full colour, the volume presents a unique synthesis of the latest research findings and explains its recent changes in emphasis - from trying to understand and reverse age-related spinal degeneration to addressing the soft tissue causes of pain. New topics include a full discussion of recent population-based imaging studies together with the latest 'twin studies' which show that genetic inheritance and environmental influences are equally important determinants of spinal pathology and pain. The Biomechanics of Back Pain also examines the promising roles of injection-based treatments for discogenic back pain and a new generation of prosthetic intervertebral discs. Additional features include: New chapters devoted to Sensorimotor Control, and Cervical Spine Anatomy and Biomechanics Bonus website containing useful PowerPoint presentations, which include seminars entitled Back Pain and Forces on the Spine as well as an overview of the Psychosocial Flags Framework Provides an overview of the best original research-including more than 350 new references - to provide researchers with the latest and most important information relating to back pain Clinically orientated and highly practical throughout, The Biomechanics of Back Pain has become the standard platform by which readers keep abreast of research and developments in the field and is essential for all clinicians involved in the care and treatment of patients with back pain, as well as for those studying its causes and methods of prevention.
