Whiplash and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (A Guide for Patients and Practicioners)

Written by one of the world's leading authorities on whiplash trauma, Arthur C. Croft, PhD, DC, MSc, MPH, this is a large format (8.5 x 11 inch) hardbound text with 339 pages and more than 170 illustrations and photos. Dr. Croft co-authored the world's very first textbook on whiplash injuries (Whiplash: the Cervical Acceleration/Deceleration Syndrome) in 1988. It came out in 2nd and 3rd editions in 1995 and 2001 and was the leading authority on the subject for two decades, being published in several foreign languages. Whiplash and Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries picks up where the original text left off, looking into many new areas and written with the same rigid scientific underpinning bolstered by hundreds of scientific literature citations, but in a natural language that physicians and non-physicians alike can appreciate. This no-nonsense text will guide the reader through the confusing and often turbulent waters of the medicolegal world, examining the rather convoluted interactions and motivations of insurers, manufacturers, lawyers, doctors, expert witnesses, and whiplash victims themselves. The text also examines the relative efficacy of the various therapies available to whiplash victims including, drugs, physical therapy, stretching and exercise, chiropractic, acupuncture, epidural steroid injections, RF neurotomy, and surgery.
