Description
Written by widely respected acupuncture expert Yun-tao Ma, PhD, LAc,
Biomedical Acupuncture for Sports and Trauma Rehabilitation shows techniques that will enhance athletic performance, accelerate recovery after intensive workouts, and speed trauma rehabilitation
after injuries or surgeries. Evidence-based research is used to support the best and most effective techniques, with over 100 illustrations
showing anatomy, injury, and clinical procedures. Unlike many other acupuncture books, this book uses a Western approach to make it easier
to understand rationales, master techniques, and integrate biomedical acupuncture into your practice.
"Finally, a well-referenced,
common sense approach to dry needling in sports medicine that discusses maintenance, overtraining, and the effect of the stress response
in atheletes. This is a long-awaited book that will leave you feeling comfortable with a technique that is very useful not only for atheletes,
but for all patients of your practice."

"For any clinician involved with assisting atheletes recover from injury, as well as providing services
to enhance physical performance, this text will be indispensible. This book is a major accomplishment in the field of sports injury and
treatment of musculoskeletal and neurological pain."
