Manual Therapy In Children is an excellent resource for any chiropractor, whether they have a pediatric practice or not. Using both solid research and common-sense anatomical rationale to build the case for spinal care, it clearly explains the absolute need for children and pregnant women to have their spines checked. Being written by medical doctors could be a point of contention for some chiropractors, but the authors seem to keep objective and unbiased.The only criticism I have is that since it is written by medical doctors, the rationale for spinal adjustments is in reaction to an obvious trauma or medical condition. Regular care for health optimization does not seem to be addressed.I still give it five stars for the wealth of information brought together and presented so well.
It is not often that general medical fraternity acknowledges the importance of manual therapies involving the diagnosis, correction and philosophy of neck and spinal disorders in babies, infants and children.The chiropractic community has been adjusting, correcting and advising on the prevention of upper cervical and spinal problems in children for just over one hundred years, through clinical success where mainstream methods have largely ignored them. It seems Dr Biederman is doing this also quite successfully.Manual spinal procedures are now becoming mainstream in the USA and Australia, and it is good to see Europe follow suit. This book makes an essential addition to the manual therapist's library.
Perfect for a Chiropractor. The book is well written and clearly states idea and methods. I would recommend to any student.
Very descriptive and detailed text.
I thought this book would be helpful to me whilst treating children. Instead it feels a bit like compilation of tenuously related articles on manual therapy in children.
