The textbook is organized into four sections that correspond to the four stages of the spine care continuum: Basic Science and Spinal Assessment, Non-Invasive Therapeutic Intervention, Spinal Injection and Surgical Management. Each section focuses on evidence-based, patient-centric applications of therapeutic modalities. Particular emphasis has been placed on both the operative and nonoperative management of spinal conditions. This textbook is intended to help both medical professionals and patients to further their understanding and knowledge of spinal conditions.
