The third edition of this highly successful book describes how
musculoskeletal pain can be simply and effectively treated by
acupuncture. It gives a comprehensive account of current knowledge
concerning two very commonly occurring musculoskeletal pain
disorders - the myofascial trigger point pain syndrome and the
fibromyalgia syndrome. Myofascial trigger point pain syndrome is an
all too common complaint. It often goes unrecognised or
alternatively is passed off as trivial and ineffectively treated.
This third edition gives a wide ranging review of current knowledge
concerning it. The author, after having given a detailed account of
the neurophysiology of pain in general, discusses at length the
pathophysiology of myofascial trigger point nociceptive pain and
the rationale for alleviating it by means of the acupuncture
technique of superficially applied dry needle - evoked nerve
stimulation at trigger point sites. Evidence-based, up-to-date, and
detailed information on trigger points, musculoskeletal pain, and
the physiology of pain provide the most authoritative assessments
available on this topic. Practical, step-by-step treatment
guidelines help readers apply key concepts to actual practice.
Clear illustrations demonstrate important techniques and areas of
pain and needling. Expanded coverage of fibromyalgia and the
neurophysiology of myofascial trigger points includes common
symptoms and treatments. More information on new treatment options
for the common problem of whiplash injuries. Expanded chapter on
fibromyalgia Expanded chapter on the neurophysiology of myofascial
trigger points Revised and updated throughout to include all
relevant clinical trial information More information on whiplash
injuries New chapter on complex regional pain syndromes
