Blending science and practice, this unique text and clinical manual simplifies acupuncture treatment for pain management and trauma rehabilitation for integration, with conventional medical care. This integrated approach relies upon familiar biomedical principles to interpret the basic mechanisms, acupoint system, and clinical procedures associated with classical acupuncture. Detailed guidance enables conventional health care professionals to quickly understand and incorporate acupuncture therapy principles for pain management into their practice. The unique Integrative Neuromuscular Acupoint System (INMAS) simplifies treatment by focusing on only 24 acupoints, out of the hundreds of existing acupoints, thus creating a standardised protocol that can be customized for each patient. Readers will find detailed chapters devoted to diagnosis, neuroanatomy, treatment, and the psychology of pain ensuring current, comprehensive coverage of this growing field.
