Preface
This book has been an outcome of determined endeavour from a group of educationists in the field. The primary
objective was to involve a broad spectrum of professionals from diverse cultural background involved in the field
for developing new researches. The book not only targets students but also scholars pursuing higher research for
further enhancement of the theoretical and practical applications of the subject.
Chiropractic and manual therapies are some of the most successful forms of alternative medicine focused primarily
on the musculoskeletal framework of the body. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover the latest studies
in mobilisation, dry needling, lifestyle and dietary counselling, diagnostic practices in chiropractic, etc. The various
studies that are constantly contributing towards the evolution of these fields are examined in detail. Researchers,
students, chiropractors, manual therapists and related healthcare professionals will benefit alike from this book.
It was an honour to edit such a profound book and also a challenging task to compile and examine all the relevant
data for accuracy and originality. I wish to acknowledge the efforts of the contributors for submitting such brilliant
and diverse chapters in the field and for endlessly working for the completion of the book. Last, but not the least;
I thank my family for being a constant source of support in all my research endeavours.
