Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

You know the acupuncture points-but can you confidently decide which ones belong in a real clinical case?What matters most isn't memorizing more points. It's knowing how to assess the patient, recognize red flags, create a logical treatment plan, and know when referral is necessary.Clinical Acupuncture for Musculoskeletal Pain is a practical guide for students, trainees, and practitioners who want to develop stronger clinical reasoning for common musculoskeletal pain presentations.Instead of focusing on isolated point lists, this book connects patient history, anatomy, movement assessment, safety screening, treatment planning, point selection, technique principles, and reassessment into a practical clinical framework.Inside, you'll learn how to: - Assess nociceptive, neuropathic, and referred pain- Take a focused patient history and perform clinical assessment- Use anatomy, palpation, and movement testing- Recognize red flags, precautions, contraindications, and referral needs- Build individualized treatment plans and select appropriate strategies- Apply trigger-point and myofascial pain concepts- Approach back, neck, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, foot, and upper-limb pain- Address headaches, sports injuries, and overuse problems- Integrate acupuncture with movement and rehabilitation principles- Reassess progress and adapt treatment when needed- Improve documentation, patient communication, and clinical decision-making- Work through practical clinical case studiesYou'll also find useful reference tools, including a clinical assessment checklist, treatment planning worksheet, progress tracker, SOAP documentation template, red-flag reference, glossary, and further reading.The core framework is simple: Assess. Screen. Prioritize. Plan. Treat. Reassess. Adapt. Document. Refer when necessary.Whether you're a student, new practitioner, or experienced clinician seeking a practical reference, this book provides a structured approach to thinking through musculoskeletal pain rather than simply treating the location of the complaint.Move beyond memorizing points. Build a clearer, safer, more deliberate approach to clinical acupuncture for musculoskeletal pain.
