Low Back and Pelvis: Clinical Applications (A.L. Logan Series in Chiropractic Technique , No 3) Review

From Preface:

"This is the third in a series of texts conceived by Dr. A.L. Logan. The concept of these works is based on Dr. Logan's experience in teaching graduate and undergraduate clinical technique and offers a better way to approach the instruction of students.

This series started with the knee and followed with the foot and ankle, and now moves up into the pelvis and spine.

It is designed to be a working manual of clinical aspects in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. The illustrations are simple...Dr. Logan felt that simple line drawings can more accurately focus the emphsis needed."
