ADVANCED TECHNIQUES IN MUSCULOSKELETAL MEDICINE AND PHYSIOTHERAPY

Advanced Techniques in Musculoskeletal Medicine & Physiotherapy is a brand new, 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 ground-breaking resource also covers techniques including intratissue
percutaneous electrolysis, mesotherapy, 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.
Each chapter describes the principles, indications and contraindications, mechanisms of
action and detailed outlines of techniques with an emphasis throughout on accessible
practical information. Additionally, methodologies, research results and summaries of
studies for particular minimally invasive therapies are presented. The book is also
