With it’s unique clinical perspective and evidence-based coverage, Clinical Anatomy of the Spine, Spinal Cord, and ANS
is the definitive reference for applying anatomic considerations to the evaluation and management of conditions of the
spine and associated neural structures, including spinal impingement and subluxation. High-quality color illustrations
and photographs, as well as abundant radiographs, CT, and MRI images, visually demonstrate specific anatomic and
neuromusculoskeletal relationships and highlight structures that may be affected by manual and surgical spinal
techniques or other diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
