Physical Diagnosis of Pain, 4th Edition, by Steven D. Waldman, is a clinical reference that guides practitioners step by step through evaluating and diagnosing more than 280 pain-related conditions. The volume focuses on identifying pathology through physical signs rather than relying exclusively on diagnostic imaging.
Coverage spans painful disorders affecting the spine, chest and abdominal walls, pelvis, and extremities. To support quick clinical reference, chapters follow a structured sequence addressing functional anatomy, inspection, palpation, range of motion, and relevant special tests.
Prepared for clinicians and trainees across pain medicine, anesthesiology, neurology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, orthopedics, and primary care, the text illustrates bedside evaluation techniques with hundreds of radiographic images, clinical photographs, and color drawings.
