Instant Access to Chiropractic Guidelines and Protocols

Somewhat dated information, but 99.9% still relevant and accurate. For example. no mention of dry needling, LASER, and other modern widely accepted, and chiropractor utilized modalities. Still, a great starting place!

This book is a must for Chiropractors and students alike. This book contains not only the most common conditions we might find on the field, but it also provides proper and up-to-date patient care management. So if you like to be prepared at all times, need to review or just can't remember the management, this book is for you.

My favorite pocket book for clinic!

This small paperbound book provides a basic overview of several spinal, extremity, and general health conditions in a self-described "at-a-glance" format. Each section includes information regarding definition, etiology, principle symptoms, exam findings, lab & radiographic findings, and management guidelines. The book does provide some helpful information, but in most cases lacks appropriate detail. Clinicians looking for a text that provides detailed etiologic, diagnostic, and management data will not be adequately informed by this text. Frankly, a few chapters are quite helpful. For example, the chapters (2) dealing with fibromyalgia are some of the best I've yet read on this condition, providing important and clinically useful descriptions of the condition and (most importantly) a detailed list and description of other conditions which need to be considered during patient work-up. But most sections are insufficiently detailed for proper diagnosis and management -- the data in these chapters is introductory at best. Chapters on scoliosis, adhesive capsulitis, ligamentous injuries of the knee, cervical soft tissue injuries, etc., do not thoroughly cover these subjects. What IS provided in most chapters is an overview -- helpful perhaps for someone already versed in the details of these conditions, but inadequate as a primary guide. Neither would this book provide adequate preparatory material for a challenging (such as an oral) board exam. In my professional opinion, this book makes some good contributions, but does not replace more detailed reference texts.

This book is good to help you distinguish the differences between common conditions. It also gives a good over all management plan to help guide your patients for rehab and getting better.

While in school a professor recommended this book. I was surprised to find it on Amazon. When I started my practice, it was a great reference guide almost weekly and I still reference it from time to time. Would Highly recommend to any new grad from Chiropractic College. Cheaper than the bookstore, got it in 2 days with Prime.
