This textbook is an outstanding review of the rapidly expanding field of chiropractic pediatrics. A large population of parents are disturbed and frustrated by the contemporary medical management of functional childhood health problems (ear infections, immune system weaknesses, antibiotic-overuse, colic and bowel infirmities, scoliosis treatments, and the common head and neck, low back and hip, arm and leg pains so common in children). This book presents the finest offerings from the leaders in the chiropractic profession regarding the science of the management of childhood illnesses. The book comprehensively covers how to insightfully take a child's health history in order to more deeply understand the complete picture of the child upon examination. Thorough discussions of the issues regarding pregnancy -- its history and the meaning of the disturbances if there were problems -- are described in detail. Pediatric neurology and orthopedics are provided in detail, with excellent photographs and illustrations throughout. The chiropractic profession has developed specialized techniques for the treatment of specific and common pediatric problems which will make a great impression upon open-minded clinicians and researchers who work with childhood illness. The second edition of this textbook adds significant new information to the first edition, and at over 900 pages is as thorough as could be hoped for. The book has long been used in chiropractic education and by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, and I expect it will be used for decades by teachers of chiropractic pediatrics and will be embraced by most of the manipulative professions. A unique contribution in the field. Highly recommended!
