In this text, musculoskeletal or
myofascial pain, often a
neglected area of concern, is
covered in relation to its
successful treatment by trigger point
acupuncture. The first part of
the book presents the author's view of the history of
Chinese acupuncture and its
migration to Western countries.
The second part deals with the
principles of trigger-point
acupuncture (a dry-needle technique distantly related to Chinese traditional acupuncture) giving a critical
account of the evidence for, and
the nature of, trigger points
and their use to deactivate
pain. The third part gives a
detailed and practical account
of various musculoskeletal pain
conditions and the acupuncture
treatment suggested for each,
presented by anatomical locus.
The book contains useful case
histories and profuse
documentation. Information on
historical precedence and
current research is meticulously
presented.
