Acupuncture For Musculoskeletal Injury
Alternative Medicine Medical Reference Sports Medicine Acupuncture Orthopedics Musculoskeletal Medicine Chinese Traditional Medicine
Muscle, joint and sports injuries send thousands of active adults to clinics every week, yet most conventional texts still focus on drugs, injections or surgery. Lu Shao-jie’s hard-cover reference Acupuncture for Musculoskeletal Injury, 2nd Edition (2008, 290 pp.) fills that gap by giving therapists, trainers and motivated patients a beautifully illustrated, evidence-based roadmap for using classical Chinese needling and complementary techniques to speed recovery. Every major region—neck, shoulder, low back, hip, knee, ankle, wrist and elbow—is covered with surface anatomy photos, needle-depth diagrams and point-by-point protocols that satisfy both TCM purists and Western clinicians who want quick visual confirmation of safe insertion angles.
What makes this copy especially desirable is its clean, very-good condition: the pages are bright, the spine is tight and there are no previous-owner stamps, inscriptions or ex-library markings. Collectors and working therapists alike appreciate that the second edition is the last and most complete printing; later reprints are soft-cover only and omit several full-color plates. The book’s durable library binding is built to lie flat on a treatment table, so the meridian charts stay open while you locate points or teach students.
Whether you’re a sports-medicine acupuncturist building a reference shelf, a physiotherapist exploring integrative options, or a patient who wants to understand what your practitioner is doing and why, this title delivers concise clinical pearls on electro-acupuncture, cupping, moxa and corrective exercise in one authoritative volume. Searchers typing “acupuncture sports injury textbook,” “trigger-point dry-needling,” or “TCM orthopedics” consistently rank this edition at the top for readability, safety guidelines and photographic clarity—reason enough to snap up a well-preserved hard-cover before it becomes another out-of-print gem.
