In the ensuing years, however, as more clinicians became familiar with the assessment process and treatment methods it offered, physical therapists, doctors, chiropractors and their patients discovered the value of these apparently simple concepts. Since then much has changed in the world of spinal care, and the confidence of medical practitioners in The McKenzie Method worldwide is reflected in the large body of scientific evidence supporting and validating those ideas – this new book reflects the literature that has accumulated in the interim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThis long awaited edition has been thoroughly updated and considerably expanded. It contains a wealth of background material about lumbar spinal problems both specific and non-specific. It explores in depth, the non-specific syndromes – derangement, dysfunction and postural – previously described by McKenzie (1983). The descriptions are expanded, more detailed and slightly amended. Also explained is the epidemiology of back pain, the role of the disc, the conceptual model behind the derangement syndrome, clinical reasoning, as well as offering a thorough review of the literature relating to the approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"default-content-wrapper\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: Not Specified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGTIN\/ITF Barcode: Not Specified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnits of Measure: Not Specified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Product Length: Not Specified in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Product Width: Not Specified in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Product Height: Not Specified in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight Capacity: Not Specified lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActual Product Weight: 0.25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Assembly: Not Specified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Installation: Not Specified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: Not Specified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase QTY: Not Specified\/case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Weight: Not Specified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips Via Freight: Not Specified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProposition 65 Warning: Not Specified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OPTP (Acct: dtucker@tensnet.com)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48133139071168,"sku":"801-2","price":194.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1403\/8729\/files\/1775651721739.avif?v=1775651724","url":"https:\/\/tensnet.com\/products\/the-lumbar-spine","provider":"TENSnet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
