Essential Guide to the Cervical Spine - Volume Two: Clinical Syndromes and Manipulative Treatment comprehensively addresses the diagnosis and treatment of the various and complex syndromes that occur in the cervical spine, from discogenic syndromes to cervical myelopathy and the physical and psychological factors involved in whiplash.
