The Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation is a journal whose main focus is to present relevant information about the interdisciplinary approach to musculoskeletal rehabilitation for clinicians who treat patients with back and musculoskeletal pain complaints.

The intended audience is multidisciplinary as well as multi-specialty.

Manuscripts are provided from a range of health care providers including those in physical medicine, orthopedic surgery, rheumatology, neurosurgery, physical therapy, radiology, osteopathy, chiropractic and nursing on topics ranging from chronic pain to sports medicine. Diagnostic decision trees and treatment algorithms are encouraged in each manuscript. Controversial topics are discussed in commentaries and rebuttals. Associated areas such as medical-legal, worker's compensation and practice guidelines are included.

The journal publishes original research papers, review articles, programme descriptions and cast studies. Letters to the editors, commentaries, and editorials are also welcomed.

Radiologic ‘clearance’ of the traumatized cervical spine

Authors: Hayes, Curtis W.

The radiologic evaluation is performed in conjunction with clinical management, and therefore communication between clinical and radiological services is essential. Judicious use of CT and MRI can provide critical information, particularly in the symptomatic patient with ‘normal’ radiographs.
