A Clinicians Guide To Dry Needling For Myofascial Pain by Michele Broadhurst,Antony Angus Pdf

Myofascial pain is a term that has been bantered around for many years. It is often unclear to people exactly what this means or how to fix it. Medical doctors, Physical therapists, Occupational therapists, Chiropractors and other practitioners are starting to acknowledge the importance of myofascial pain syndromes and collaborate to figure out how to treat it. Health care is becoming more and more competitive, with many fads cropping up on a monthly basis. Many of these have no scientific base, and yet in the technological age that we are living in, a good marketing strategy can convince you to try anything. I have heard hundreds of patients say that they have tried this and that, with little or no result other than emptying their wallet. This manual is an essential resource for anyone who is interesting in treating pain in their respective practices. For the dentist, who is struggling to help patients with TMJ issues, or the physical therapist who feels like massage isn't quite cutting it, or for the Chiropractor who cant understand why their adjustment isn't holding and the patient is still suffering. No one has time in their busy offices to lug out an enormous textbook and start paging through it for 15 minutes while their patient sits there waiting. This has been designed as a quick reference text for those practitioners that have a patient presenting with a myofascial pain syndrome and need to quickly recap what muscles can be causing it, where those trigger points are, how to treat it and what to do post treatment. The authors have more than 40 years of combined knowledge and have worked on thousands of patients to bring you the most valuable and concise information that you will need to be successful in dry needling in your practice.They have assumed that you have a strong and solid grasp of anatomy and physiology, so they have not done a full recap on the basics of these subjects. We begin with an overview on the relationship of muscle and trigger points. This is a useful review about the functionality, integrity and uses of muscles and the trigger points that form and reside in them. Next we cover the differences between Acupuncture and Dry Needling. A brief discussion that will help you answer the question you will encounter many times a day as to what the differences between these two treatment protocols are. The Palpation chapter is one of the most important chapters in this book, as most practitioners are deficient in this skill. There are fundamental tools in this chapter that will help you, quickly and effectively, master palpation. The Diagnosis and Treatment chapter outlines the fundamentals in evaluating and treating patients. Needling use and technique gives you the foundations on what and where to needle as well as the how. This chapter incorporates different needling techniques as well as post treatment protocols. It teaches you how to be safe and what contraindications are important to keep in mind when evaluating a patient for dry needling. In conclusion, this manual is for the practitioner who wishes to deepen their understanding of myofascial pain syndromes and wants to help their patients in a quick and incredibly effective manner. This book focuses on the how, not the why. It is a quick way of referencing pain patterns and finding out how to treat it immediately.

Spinal Manipulation Made Simple by Jeffrey Maitland Pdf

Written by an expert on alternative bodywork, this book presents techniques for manipulating the soft tissues of the back in a safe, simple manner. The method avoids the high velocity, low amplitude thrusting techniques employed by chiropractors. Instead, it utilizes the intuitive sense of somatic bodyworkers combined with the proven theory and technique of Rolfing to provide safe and effective treatment. Maitland shows how to elegantly release joint fixations in the spine, sacrum, pelvis, and ribcage by using subtle soft tissue techniques, rather than the thrusting techniques that "pop" the joints. This gentler kind of individualized Rolfing work is thoroughly described within an explanation of biomechanics, aided by drawings and photographs which depict techniques and anatomy.

Acupuncture Research by Hugh MacPherson,Richard Hammerschlag,George Thomas Lewith,Rosa N. Schnyer Pdf

Leading acupuncturists and researchers with international reputations share their expertise. They illustrate their descriptions with practical examples of what has worked and what has not.

Each chapter is easily accessible with brief explanations of research designs as well as vignettes of relevant past research. The book is based on a deep understanding of acupuncture, with its inherent complexity in practice, whether based on traditional principles or more modern concepts. By incorporating a more sophisticated understanding of the field, this book details a range of strategies aiming to develop the evidence base with the utmost rigour. It is the first book on acupuncture research to take this unique view, integrating the very best of evidence-based medicine with a genuine sensitivity to the discipline of acupuncture, from its traditional and holistic roots to its more modern interpretations.
