This book addresses an extremely prevalent medical problem: low back pain. It is not a general anatomy book, but it relates specifically to the lumbosacral spine, encompassing anatomy, histology, histopathology, and imaging all in one volume. For students, the text incrementally introduces them to lumbosacral anatomy terms and scientific knowledge by using photographs of gross and histological sections of the spine, as well as schematic drawings and images, in preparation for clinical practice. It answers many questions about the pathogenesis of low back pain, helpful for clinicians, both for treatment decisions and for counselling patients.

Key features:

Provides a clear explanation for many of the pain generators in low back pain and illuminates this perplexing and ubiquitous problem
Addresses a gap in the existing literature, as 'non-specific' or mechanical lumbosacral spine pain accounts for by far most chronic spinal pain sufferers’ complaints for clinicians from general medical practitioners to spinal specialists in various fields such as sports medicine who deal with spinal pain syndromes
Illustrates anatomical structures that can be injured and thus become responsible for causing mechanical lumbosacral spine pain; frequently, such injuries cannot be detected on sophisticated imaging such as MRI

Dr Lynton GF Giles DC (Toronto) MSc, PhD (W Aust) practised full time as a chiropractor for many years and, during that period, he became Honorary Clinical Scientist at Townsville General Hospital (1994-2002) and Adjunct Associate Professor (Clinical) at the School of Public Health, Tropical Medicine and Rehabilitation Sciences, James Cook University, Townsville, Queensland, Australia as well as Clinical Director of the Multidisciplinary Spinal Pain Unit that he helped to establish at the Townsville General Hospital. Prior to this he was Senior Research Fellow and Director of the Spinal Research Laboratory, Division of Science and Technology at Griffith University, Brisbane, Queensland which he established in 1989. He has been a member of the Spine Society of Australia since 1992 and was a member of the British Society of Clinical Anatomists until he retired. He was honoured by the Chiropractors Association of Australia (National) Ltd in 2015 when the Giles Lecture and the Giles Medal for Outstanding Research in Health Science were established.
