Discussing the neuroanatomical, biomechanical and clinical influences on spinal pain as well as the clinical treatments available to relieve the resulting lower back pain and leg pain, this 7th edition textbook presents the long-accepted as well as newly documented approaches to treatment and care. With a special emphasis on the spinal manipulation approach using Cox Technic Flexion Distraction written by its developer, James M. Cox, DC, DACBR, Low Back Pain is a valuable chiropractic manual medicine resource. Contributing authors are
Peter Cauwenbergs PhD, Dana Lawrence DC, and Sil Mior DC - short leg
Scott Chapman DC and Carole DeFranco, DC - rehabilitation
Ram Gudavalli PhD - principal investigator in flexion distraction research
Lee Hazen DC - fibromyalgia
Larry Hill DC - laboratory evaluation
George Joachim DC - transitional segment
Ralph Kruse DC - pregnancy-related back pain
Forewords by Rudy Kachmann, MD, neurosurgeon; William Meeker, DC, president of Palmer West; Claire Johnson, DC, editor of JMPT and JCM; and Glen Manceaux, DC, past president of the ACA, summarize nicely what the textbook delivers. Its official publication date is November 28, 2011.

WHAT'S NEW?
The Seventh Edition of this textbook is built upon the peer-reviewed literature and research studies in the diagnosis and treatment of low back and radicular pain, focusing on the nonsurgical chiropractic adjusting methods. This text is the culmination of twelve years of updated research and development of spinal manipulation. From spinal stenosis to rehabilitation of low back pain patients to the latest treatise on fibromyalgia, you’ll find it all in Low Back Pain, Seventh Edition.
You’ll find detailed discussion of:
- Biomechanics of the spine involved in low back pain
- The neurophysiology and pathology of the intervertebral disc and neural tissues in pain production, emphasizing compressive and chemical etiology of nerve pain
- Both federally and non federally funded spine research reports of flexion distraction spinal biomechanics and clinical outcomes of its application
- Researched updated application of flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation for spinal stenosis, disc herniation, facet syndrome, spondylolisthesis, transitional segment, scoliosis, and mechanical back pain
- Research studies of Ram Gudavalli, PhD performed at Palmer and National Universities of Chiropractic in collaboration with the Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine and Hines VA hospital
- Sacroiliac joint update of anatomy and biomechanics of spinal manipulation
- Chiropractic spinal manipulation compared to medical care and surgery of back and radicular pain for clinical outcomes and cost of care
- Rehabilitation of the back pain patient and its necessity in clinical management
- Intervertebral disc classification of degeneration, herniation types and clinical significance
New chapters in the Seventh Edition cover:
- Nutritional factors in the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration and osteopenia and osteoporosis of bone
- Treatment for back pain in the pregnant female patient with flexion distraction spinal adjustments
- Fibromyalgia: updated diagnosis and treatment of this problem condition
