Indications Index

We hope that this comprehensive index will assist you in quickly finding what
you need to make use of this book immediately in your clinic. Please take a
moment to glance over the entirety of the index, familiarizing yourself with the
layout, to make it easier in the future to find what you seek.

We have grouped similar musculoskeletal conditions together, for example, the

section Low back (lumbar, sacrum, sciatica) includes all conditions involving the
lower back, sacrum, tailbone or sciatica, while the section Back and spine disorders
includes all conditions of the upper back and spine, but also ancillary conditions
such as scapular and arm pain that also include the upper back.

For conditions affecting a smaller area, such as wrist, hand or finger pain, those
are listed in their appropriate subsection named, Wrist, hand and finger disorders,
but you will find conditions that include both the arm and hand in the more
global section named, Arm, elbow and forearm disorders. Think, ‘big to small’ for the
groupings.

Index entries that are bolded/bolded with (commentary) highlight significant

commentary or treatment information, thus this will be often be the best starting
point for that topic. Of note, we offer a Clinical Insight section which links to
some of the more thorough commentary and clinical wisdom covering a wide
variety of interesting topics.
