This new handbook provides a practical, day-to-day reference guide to assist clinicians in assessing and managing the most common musculoskeletal problems they encounter in their practice.
Written by a GP with an extended role in msk medicine and an advanced practice physiotherapist and informed by their combined years of clinical experience, it provides an overview of pathology and guides the reader through assessment, examination, tests and scans, and management.
Easy to follow and use as well as comprehensively referenced and evidence-based, this title will prove indispensable for clinicians across disciplinary boundaries, from First Contact Practitioners and GPs to physiotherapists, nurses and paramedics.
