Musculoskeletal neck and head pain is a one of the highest health burdens faced globally. Management of people with this pain is complex, multi-factorial, and challenging. Scientific evidence continues to grow in this area but can often be confusing or contradictory. This multi-contributed compendium is a much-needed resource for all healthcare professionals, researchers, and educators treating neck and head dysfunction.

Taking a holistic and patient-centred approach, this vital, interdisciplinary book discusses the background of these dysfunctions and reviews specific conditions of the neck and head. It also includes evidence-based clinical assessment and management, clinical reasoning, and is supplemented with patient stories and supporting resources.

Reviews for The Head and Neck: Theory and Practice

Musculoskeletal head and neck pain continues to rank among the highest global health burdens, presenting significant challenges for clinicians and researchers alike. Roger Kerry and Barbara Cagnie have brought together experts within the field to create a book that embraces the real world challenges of managing musculoskeletal head and neck pain - it balances the demands of clinical skills, contemporary evidence and the need to be truly patient-centred care. -- Laura Finucane FMACP FCSP, Expert Clinical Advisor and Consultant Physiotherapist Here is a timely, insightful, and accessible guide that combines powerful patient stories from across the globe, beautifully integrated with sophisticated understanding of anatomy, physiology, pathology, and disorders of the cervical spine. Every clinician who handles patients with such health issues should read this book. This comes as a useful clinical guide that will help bridge the gaps we see across the globe in the management of patients with head and neck related pathologies. I would highly recommend that it be used as a key textbook for teaching clinicians, doctors , physios , orthopedic surgeons and other specialised medical professionals. -- Otieno Martin Ong'wen, Physiotherapist, Orthopedic Manual Therapist, and Clinical Director of Afya Africa Orthopedic Services
