Whiplash Injuries: The Cervical Acceleration/Deceleration Syndrome

This second edition of a clinically-orientated text has been expanded to cover up-to-date treatments for common whiplash disorders, and is intended for chiropractors. Features of this new edition include: a new chapter on treatment covering the effects of manipulation, the clinical effects of traction, immobilization and physical therapy, and the treatment protocols for the different stages of injury; a new chapter on CT and MRI, with diagnostic protocols and algorithms for clinical use; a rewritten chapter on TMJ injuries; and major revisions in chapters on biomechanics, soft tissue healing and repair, electrodiagnostic tests and thermography. The book also contains over 1,280 references to current literature on cervical spine injuries.
