Mastering Lumbosacral Spine Anatomy and Low Back Pain Management

Authored by Lynton GF Giles, this comprehensive book tackles the pervasive issue of low back pain, a common medical problem affecting millions worldwide. Unlike general anatomy books, this volume focuses exclusively on the lumbosacral spine, covering anatomy, histology, histopathology, and imaging in a single, authoritative resource.

A Valuable Resource for Students and Clinicians Alike

The text is carefully structured to introduce students to lumbosacral anatomy and scientific knowledge, using clear photographs of gross and histological sections of the spine, accompanied by informative schematic drawings and images. This graduated approach prepares students for clinical practice, empowering them to address the complexities of low back pain.

Clinicians, including general medical practitioners and spinal specialists in fields like sports medicine, will appreciate the book’s insightful explanations of pain generators in low back pain. This knowledge enables informed treatment decisions and effective patient counseling.

Filling a Crucial Gap in the Literature

Recognizing that ‘non-specific’ or mechanical lumbosacral spine pain accounts for the majority of chronic spinal pain complaints, this book provides a much-needed resource for clinicians seeking to better understand and manage this ubiquitous problem.

The book’s detailed illustrations of anatomical structures that can be injured and cause mechanical lumbosacral spine pain are particularly valuable, as these injuries often elude detection by sophisticated imaging techniques like MRI.
