Textbooks

Flexion distraction protocols, research, clinical outcomes, and treatment protocols are available for all to read in textbooks by medical publishers and private publishers. Writing a textbook is quite an undertaking! But in the end, these are great resources for flexion distraction physicians - and patients if they are so inclined - to study.
