Advanced Techniques in Musculoskeletal Medicine and Physiotherapy
About This Book
"Advanced Techniques in Musculoskeletal Medicine & Physiotherapy is a cutting-edge, highly illustrated guide to the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. It demonstrates how to safely and effectively use selected minimally invasive therapies in practice. In addition to more well-established techniques such as acupuncture or dry needling, this comprehensive resource also covers techniques including percutaneous electrolysis, mesotherapy, injection therapy, percutaneous needle tenotomy, and high volume image guided injections. Other featured chapters include those on specific musculoskeletal ultrasound such as sonoanatomy and ultrasound-guided procedures as well as a chapter dedicated to cadaver-based needling approaches. Each chapter describes the principles, indications and contraindications, mechanisms of action and detailed outlines of techniques with an emphasis on providing practitioners with accessible practical information. In addition, methodologies, research results and summaries of studies for specific minimally invasive therapies are presented. The book is also supported by a companion website containing procedural video clips, a full colour image bank and interactive multiple choice questions."--Back cover.
