awesoe bookNovember 9, 2008 Levi G. Merritt Must have for chiropractic students. I'll be going into clinic soon and this book is a savior. GREAT summarization of the most popular soft tissue techniques and core stabilization.
Essential reading for those who work with backsAugust 4, 2008 S. Michaud(Seattle, WA USA) As a physical therapist, I find myself turning to this book frequently. This book compiles some of the best minds of today and integrates the latest research on the back into an accessible format. The techniques and exercises are clear and easy to reproduce. The focus on functional outcomes and patient activation are critical in framing how clinicians treat those with back pain. I strongly recommend this book to any practitioner who works with people with back pain.
PerspectiveJuly 19, 2008 Ian Mutchnick(Louisville, KY USA) As a neurosurgical resident, the care of the spine patient can be summed up as: "can I cut it out." For many patients, this is helpful. For many others, sadly, my knife cannot help - most of these patients are left without a diagnosis, and more importantly without an explanation for why they are having the troubles they are having.
This book clearly and comprehensively covers the topic of spine pain, providing a context and perspective that I have found extremely useful in the clinical setting. This book can help the spine surgeon give direction to otherwise direction-less patients with life-ruining conditions.
This should be required reading for anyone operating on the spine.
Rehabilitation BibleMay 6, 2008 Dr. Mark Buettner(IL) Best comprehensive approach to rehabilitation methods to date. I have taken the diplomate program to get board certified in rehabilitation, the basis of which is from the Rehabilitation of the Spine. Craig Liebenson's book is one of the finest rehab manuals out there today.

This is a great source of information for patients and doctors in the journey to better health and improved function for the patient who is willing to work at becoming healthier. A program can be created for a patient to achieve a much better level of functioning no matter what their age. Chiropractic care and proper rehabilitation can change lives for the better!!
