Medical publications from Professor McGill

I have written hundreds of peer reviewed articles in medical and scientific journals. They are available here. But I realize that while reading a single article can give some insight, it rarely provides perspective to understand an issue to help a person in pain, or regain athleticism. This was the purpose of my books, to synthesize all this material together with the relevant work of others to address worthwhile issues. I suggest you invest in the books but have nonetheless tried to assist with single articles here.
