A brilliant book and “must have” for any MSK clinician. Easy to read. Highly recommended.

Any health professional seeing patients with low back pain needs to read and reflect on this book. Well written, explains complex concepts simply.

Assessing, educating and managing a patient who presents with signs and symptoms of possible cauda equina syndrome is a relatively common and uncomfortable scenario for most healthcare clinicians working with MSK populations. The combination of potential irriversable and life-changing harm to the patient, time pressured decision making, medicolegal risk, and ethical decision making in a resource limited healthcare system leaves clinicians managing a lot of uncertainty and justified anxiety. This book can help 'control the controllable'. It's not a algorithm (that doesn't exist), but it is the most helpful introduction to helping you make the best decision you can based on the information you have. It may also help you sleep at night after a complex case. Painstakingly researched and very readable. Highly recommended.

Easy to understand and refer back to detailed and specific. Thorough and well thought through

As a chiropractor, CES is always in the back of my mind when working with patients. Seeing the variance of CES symptoms over the years, I've learned that patients are never the textbook example that we all learned in school. This book really simplifies the various symptoms and patterns you'll see in the "grey" area where patients will often feel lost and frustrated due to the medical community's lack of understanding of this condition. This will make you a better clinician and I strongly recommended it to all my peers.

I'm a fan of Mr. Jesson's work. He researches deeply and provides an honest review of the evidence.

Great quick read. Make sure the concepts ''stick'' in the head. I especially liked the nuanced approach to talking about the symptoms and descriptions and th tool box to talk about it. It demystified the topic for me.
