With each new edition the manual has grown both in content and in popularity with physicians, therapists, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, case managers, rehab nurses, athletic trainers, among others. Medical settings, such as hospitals and clinics, have found the manual serving as a valuable foundation for safe and effective treatment guidelines for patient care.
The authors have found the treatment guidelines and patient handouts particularly valuable. It is for this reason, we are happy to share this indivation with colleagues around the country and around the world. It is believed that through the collective sharing of all our knowledge and expertise, we are able to strengthen the quality of patient care and patient outcomes.
