Spinal problems are one of the most common presentations
confronting general practitioners. GPs see over 5 million patients
per year in relation to back pain alone. It is one of the most
common causes of absence from work and has an estimated treatment
cost of £12 billion.
Written by a multidisciplinary team of authors, including
doctors, physiotherapists, and osteopaths, the ABC of Spinal
Disorders is uniquely placed to address the causes and
management of the different spinal conditions presenting in general
practice. Providing practical guidance and advice on diagnosis,
treatment, and when to refer the patient for further help, it is
ideal for general practitioners, junior doctors, Foundation
doctors, and all allied health professionals.
