I used this as a reference for Part II, III, and IV chiropractic national boards. This book lists a condition, tells you a brief summary and lists treatment protocols and what forms of nutrition can be advised in this condition. This is a good reference for the boards because it has certain treament protocols that boards like to ask. However, if you really want a great review for the national boards get the following:
National Board of Chiropractic Part II Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers, National Board of Chiropractic Part III Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations, and National Board of Chiropractic Part IV Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers Vol 1 and Vol 2 by Patrick Leonardi.
These study guides are the best references for studying for the Chiropractic National Boards. The questions in these books are right on to the format asked on the boards. I'm glad I used them because I think I might have failed without them. Dr. Souza's book is also a must for the boards because it gives some high yield material that is asked in either part 2, 3 or 4.

This book is very informative in the diagnosis and treatment of many disorders. True it is written more for the chiropractor but if you look at the title of the book you might have an idea why it is written the way it is. The former reviewer is obvioulsy a MD or someone who does not believe in the chiropractic healing methods. He would rather rely on drugs and making drug companies happy than treating people the right way. I diagnosed my mother with subtrochanteric bursitis through this book. I am in my 8th tri of chiropractic school. Do you want to know how she was treated by MDs. A nerve block!!!! To the L4 nerve....now hmmmm maybe more MDs should read this book.

I find it amusing that some doctors get angry when we speak of differential diagnosis in chiropractic. To make it clear chiropractic is a university level program of 5 years (where I come from) with 1000+ hours in diagnostic. This book is an excellent reference for every practicing chiropractor.
