Main description:

Differential Screening of Regional Pain in Musculoskeletal Practice covers screening across the musculoskeletal system, outlining the biochemical basis for pain. This book is written by US based physical therapist, osteopath and naturopath, Deepak Sebastian.

Comprised of ten chapters covering each different region of the musculoskeletal system, this book begins with an introduction and discussion of thought process in regional pain. The second chapter investigates the chemical basis of the human body in relation to pain, with the third covering drug-induced regional pain. Subsequent chapters cover specific regions in detail including cervical, thoracic, lumbopelvic, hip, knee, ankle, foot, shoulder, elbow, and wrist and hand pain.

Enhanced by 116 images and illustrations, Differential Screening of Regional Pain in Musculoskeletal Practice is an excellent reference guide for physical therapists who need to identify a set of conditions or diagnoses for specific regional pain symptoms.
