Research

A series of well-referenced and illustrated papers on topics of clinical interest to licensed healthcare professionals. This series covers a variety of musculo skeletal conditions and offers generalized recommendations for patient examination, evaluation, and care. Adjunctive modalities -- such as orthotics, cervical support pillows, and rehabilitation equipment -- are also discussed and recommended in a non-specific context.
