Healthcare providers are increasingly called upon to identify and manage complex musculoskeletal issues in their patients. Common Musculoskeletal Problems, Second Edition, is an excellent point-of-care resource for healthcare providers to better diagnose and treat patients presenting with common musculoskeletal complaints.

These materials are formatted to easily fit into an electronic medical record.
