"Written by a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist and an anesthesiologist, 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."
