A study of the neurophysiological mechanisms of pain transmission in the head, neck and facial region. Case presentations on the management of the craniocervical syndrome emphasize clinical decision-making algorithms, practice guidelines and the use of standardized clinical outcome measures. A rational clinical decision-making process, from clinical assessment through to manipulative therapy, provides chiropractic manipulative and manual therapy procedures for upper cervical spine dysfunction, with clinical tips for improved practice. Content covers all aspects of the syndrome from anatomy to surgical approaches, including psychosocial issues. There is also a chapter on the paediatric patient and an overview of cerebrovascular accidents resulting from manual therapy in the upper cervical spine area. The clinical model presented is grounded in modern concepts of pain neurophysiology and provides a multi-dimensional approach to both acute and chronic craniocervical syndrome patients.
The book emphasizes evidence-based practice, and includes a review of the scientific literature supporting the benefit of chiropractic manipulative therapy in the treatment of upper cervical pain syndrome.
