Simply stated, Thomas A. Souza's Differential Diagnosis and Management for the Chiropractor, 2nd Edition is an absolutely outstanding text. Open the front cover and before you even reach the title page, there is a quick reference guide to locate over 300 conditions commonly encountered in clinical practice. From abdominal pain to restless leg syndrome to turf toe and whiplash, the clinician has an instant review at his or her fingertips.

Turn to the page of condition or region of interest and there will be at minimum the classic presentation, cause, evaluation, and management protocol. Some topics are expanded and include easy to follow tables on history, differential diagnosis and rehabilitation. The book also includes 20 algorithms for the most commonly encountered musculoskeletal complaints, descriptions and photographs on over 50 orthopedic tests.

How good is this book? I would buy it in a second for twice the price and if I were limited to only one book in my practice, this would be the one. Tommy Souza - you da man!

Andersen rating 12. (off the scale!)
