Colonna vertebrale

Di chiara matrice trattatistica, questo testo cerca di assolvere all'esigenza di comprendere i raccordi neurofisiologici, biomeccanici e, non per ultimo, patologici che caratterizzano quello stato di alterazione funzionale meglio noto come "mal di schiena". L'esposizione delle nozioni è stata organizzata così da rendere agevole la comprensione dei temi trattati pur senza sacrificare una progressiva ed adeguata conoscenza dei meccanismi con cui la situazione organismica si sposta da una condizione di equilibrio fisiologico (stato di benessere) ad una di squilibrio più o meno grave (stato di malattia). Lo studio semiotico torna ad essere un momento cruciale per la definizione di una corretta diagnosi clinica, indispensabile nei processi di organizzazione e gestione di un idoneo, specifico e differenziale intervento terapeutico.
