Reseña

El libro que le ayudará a entender los mensajes que su cuerpo le envía a través de su espalda

¿Dolor de espalda y emociones? ¿Acaso ese dolor que le atormenta desde hace tiempo tiene que ver con la tristeza, con el miedo, con la insatisfacción o con el estrés...? Así es, y en gran medida. Como dijo sir William Osler, considerado el padre de la medicina moderna: "Los órganos lloran las lágrimas que los ojos se niegan a derramar".

This evidence-based text relates clinical chiropractic management to pediatrics, with coverage of the key aspects of syndromes most commonly seen by chiropractors working with children. It outlines the essential history-taking, physical assessment, diagnosis and management for each syndrome, while addressing relevant pathology of pediatric conditions. An essential reference source for both chiropractic clinicians and students. Chapters have been radically restructured for the new edition - in line with current research and the models of teaching now being used.

Un concepto científico o práctico es, en un sentido amplio, un conjunto de reflexiones teóricas sobre las que denominar o resolver un problema. Para la fisioterapia, todo concepto debe estructurarse sobre ideas que configuren la práctica terapéutica (principios), desarrollen formas de proceder especiales (métodos) e indiquen cómo servir a un objetivo terapéutico (técnicas). El Concepto Maitland, desde su desarrollo en la década de 1950, ha tenido una influencia decisiva en la fisioterapia, sobre todo en el examen y tratamiento de pacientes con disfunciones neuromusculoesqueléticas.
