Functional Neurology For Practitioners Of Manual Medicine, 2e Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Fuctional Neurology for Practitioners of Manual Medicine takes the reader from the embryonic beginnings of the nervous system, through the biochemistry of receptor activation and on to the functional systems of the nervous system. Concepts, relationships and scientific mechanisms of the nervous system function are covered, and this aids the practitioner in developing their clinical approach to a wide variety of patient presentations. The text is fully referenced, which allows the reader to immediately apply the concepts to practice situations. New for this edition are new chapters on pain (including headache) and theoretical evidence, plus extensive electronic resources supporting the text. "Overall this text would be an excellent resource to any practising physiotherapist or health professional within musculoskeletal and orthopaedics from the new graduate to the experienced clinician."

Functional Neurology for Practitioners of Manual Medicine is the sine qua non book for any chiropractor, acupuncturist, naturopath, MD, DO, neurologically oriented physical therapist, OT, or anyone consumed by the subject. It along with its accompanying DVD, is an entire course into what will be the 21st century leap from restorative medicine into re-organizational healing. It is well written and thoughtfully presented, but is surely not for the dilettante. Drink deeply or taste not.
I am a practicing Functional Neurologist and I bought this book as a resource for neurological pathways and mechanisms and it DOES PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION. So as a reference I would give this book 5/5. However it is a dry read and poorly organized with little to no emphasis on treatment modalities other than some very lame chiropractic manipulation therapy in the back of the book. What about eye exercises, UBE, oxygen, vibration stimulation, laser, spin chair therapy etc... The book left me wanting more from a title that states for manual therapy practitioners. I really wanted more meat for my money. In today's web based information platform tech info is basically free for those who google hard enough, if I am spending money on a hard copy I want it to shine and be complete. Perhaps there is a second edition that contains this missing treatment information. I would suggest Evolve Your Brain, Dr. Joe Dispenza for non therapists and Dr. Mike Johnson's, "What to do when the medications don't work" as a entry level book for therapists looking to actually treat with functional neurology.
This book is very helpful, especially if you're taking anything with Carrick. I have notes from seminars and this book is great for filling in the gaps that I had in my notes. Dr. Beck did a great job keeping things simple to understand and thorough enough to be a valuable clinical reference.
Excellent book. You need to have good neuroscience background to understand the book fully though. The author explains "functional neurology" very well and cleared. I had so many ah-ha moments during reading through the book.
Great information and well written text. Great for every practitioner in the medical field with interest in neurology or a better understanding on physiology.
Very good book for practitioners , should be a student text for all health science/ medical courses to understand what is required functionally.
