Description

Written by a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist, this book is a complete survey of the use of acupuncture in musculoskeletal
medicine. The book describes the origins of acupuncture, why it is thought to work, how it fits into the treatment paradigm for musculoskeletal
complaints, and what the evidence says about its efficacy for each complaint and each pathology. Various treatment approaches are offered for
each complaint, including basic local treatments that incorporate TENS placement using acupuncture needles as well as more traditional
acupuncture meridian treatments. The writing is user-friendly with frequent use of bulleted points.
