Over the course of fifty years, Dr. Robert Maigne has built up an international reputation for his pioneering work with
spinal-related pain. His assessment and therapeutic techniques, once considered revolutionary, are now widely accepted
as standard approaches.

In Diagnosis and Treatment of Pain of Vertebral Origin, Second Edition, Dr. Maigne presents a comprehensive and highly
insightful review of both fundamental and advanced research literature, exploring the anatomic, developmental, and
pathological conditions known to produce pain. Including extensive sections on assessment and therapy, he offers a
complete training in the principles and techniques of manipulation for which he is known. He also offers fresh
approaches to the problem of manual medicine in the fragile areas of the spine, as well as commentary on several other
issues including failed back syndrome.


Dr. Maigne's devotion to inquiry and resistance to assumption, makes this text a valuable reading for every clinician.
The knowledge he imparts with regard to the mechanics and treatment of pain will benefit any practice.
