In contemporary practice, it is common for manual therapy providersÑincluding chiropractors, pain management specialists, and physicians in physical medicine and rehabilitationÑto concentrate primarily on disc pathology when reviewing imaging. Such a narrowed focus, however, risks overlooking critical information contained within the study. Spine imaging encompasses a far broader spectrum of anatomical and pathological findings than disc abnormalities alone.
The purpose of this atlas is to expand the clinician's diagnostic lens so that no significant or incidental finding is ignored. By offering clear visual references and clinically relevant explanations, it enables providers to identify not only common degenerative changes but also less frequent yet clinically significant abnormalities. These include neoplastic processes, infectious conditions, congenital anomalies, and other incidental findings that may profoundly influence patient management., mri, atlas, chiropractic, imaging, Mark Studin| | 124PAGES
