Title: Foundations for Integrative Musculoskeletal Medicine: An East-

West Approach

Author: Alon Marcus

Publisher: North Atlantic Books

Copyright 2005

Publication: Hardcover, 760 pages

Price: $95.00

Part #: AT-28. To order a copy of this publication, contact MPA

Provider Services at (800) 359-2289.

Priority Code: A6AR

 

This book is so big and well-written it takes on biblical

proportions. Foundations for Integrative Musculoskeletal Medicine: An

East-West Approach has 11 sections and is a hefty 700-plus pages, but

it was a joy to read because Alon Marcus is a natural teacher. These

include six " foundations " sections for integrative Oriental medicine

- physical medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, biomedicine

(anatomy, physiology and pathology), integrative orthopedic and

physical medicine assessment, integrative herbal medicine, and

integrative electrotherapeutics. There are treatment sections on

acupuncture versus dry needling (and apt definitions of both), and

additional acupuncture systems such as wrist and ankle acupuncture,

with a great section on the Tong/Lee style. There also is a short

section on management of sprains, strains and trauma, and an

extensive musculoskeletal disorder/integrative practice section.
