      abstract = {Providing a balanced, evidence-based discussion of  whiplash and its associated disorders, Whiplash: A Patient  Centered Approach to Management compiles information from  many sources into a single, definitive reference. It  clearly delineates rationales and procedures, covering  cervical spine anatomy, neurology, kinesiology,  epidemiology, patient history and assessment, imaging, soft  tissue injuries, articular lesions, rehabilitation, and  prognosis. Using numerous full-color photos and  illustrations, an expert author team led by Dr. Meridel  Gatterman offers concrete guidelines for a patient-centered  approach to care of whiplash and whiplash-related  conditions -- one that recommends minimally invasive  procedures and therapies whenever possible. A companion  Evolve website includes video clips showing stretching  exercises, printable patient handouts, and narrated  PowerPoint slides. A patient-centered approach to care  emphasizes working with patients as partners, with both  preferring minimally invasive procedures and therapies  where appropriate, in a way that promotes self-healing, a  holistic approach to the patient, and a humanistic attitude  with regard to the patient/practitioner relationship. An  easy-to-follow organization helps you to clearly identify  whiplash and plan a course of treatment, beginning with an  in-depth description of whiplash and the various approaches  to treatment and moving on to cover the anatomy of the  cervical spine, the mechanism of injury, physical  examination, and imaging, then continuing with the  management of whiplash injuries and complications such as  headaches and joint injuries. Full-color photos and  illustrations clarify concepts and procedures.  Evidence-based content is based on findings in current  literature, and cited in chapter references. Coverage of  both typical and less common types of whiplash injuries  helps you accurately assess varied symptoms and avoid  overlooking any related signs and symptoms. Detailed  coverage of the relationship between the cervical spine and  the cervical distribution of the autonomic nervous system  helps you recognize the potential complications of whiplash  and how nerve anatomy informs these complications. More  than 20 tables and charts provide a quick reference to  facilitate review of the material. A glossary provides  definitions and pronunciations of terms related to  whiplash. Expert author Meridel Gatterman, MA, DC, MEd, is  one of the leading chiropractic academics in the U.S., has  written several other chiropractic textbooks and many  peer-reviewed journal articles, has served as both a Dean  and Director for two different chiropractic schools, and  currently acts as a Consultant to the Oregon Board of  Chiropractic Examiners. A companion Evolve website includes  video clips of a chiropractor performing stretching  exercises, plus an image collection, narrated PowerPoint  slides, and printable patient handouts.},
