This was a recommended text in my chiropractic college for my orthopedics class. I found the illustrations very helpful with learning the orthopedic tests which seemed so overwhelming at first. I kept practicing these tests with my friends before the lab test and got good grades. The national boards do use this text as a reference, I highly recommend using this book to study for the boards for either Part II, III, or IV. For x-ray portions of boards -more so in Part III and IV---I highly recommend Skeletal Radiology by Terry Yochum. This is a definite must buy as well as Patrick Leonardi's National Board of Chiropractic Part II, Part III and Part IV study guides. The questions were great and helped me to concentrate on the important topics of high yield questions asked on the boards. Thanks Terry Yochum, Patrick Leonardi and Ronald Evans for making my life much easier in chiropractic school and on the boards.

Would never have purchased this text if it were not for National boards. The DVD is very useful when reviewing Irene Gold review material. However, when you take part 4 you are not sure if the examiner is up on this text or some other. Numerous ortho exams are completely useless. And same-named ortho exams are taught/done differently depending on which text is used. Why NBCE, CCE, and the DC colleges are not on the same page is a mystery. I can only guess that it has to do more with money than with factual education. I was taught from the Magee text. I'm not sure if I'll keep this text or resell it. I looked at this purchase as cheaper than repeating part 4.

A few of my Chiropractic classes used this book and it helps out a lot to figure out what's going on and how to perform the tests. It also contains a DVD with all the procedures that are shown in the book which is extremely helpful. It will also be useful for National Boards and when I get out into practice.

This was great for the price as well as the included dvd this gave me a good view of how to perform the orthopedic test for my board exam high;ly reccomended.

This was to come with a CD when I ordered and the when it came there was not CD. I sent it back.

Just as I expected. Thank you

Well done. It's all there!!

The finest reference book
