The text is a clinical resource designed to clearly communicate the interdisciplinary diagnosis and, most importantly, nonsurgical rehabilitative treatment of painful neck injuries. Four goals have guided the preparation. First, the text emphasizes a multinodal, nonsurgical rehabilitative approach. Second, the text emphasizes an interdisciplinary diagnostic and treatment approach. Third, the task of clearly outlining effective treatment techniques is distributed among a carefully selected interdisciplinary group of noted clinical and research authorities. Finally, the text is an applied clinical resource for students and practising health professionals.
