Acupuncture in Physiotherapy

Description

This book addresses the important issues on appropriate acupuncture research methodologies, particularly that of placebo control, and enables the reader to judge the quality of RTC evidence. - By Val Hopwood (2004) 274 pages

Acupuncture has long been recognized as complementing the practice of physiotherapy.

'Acupuncture in Physiotherapy' is written for physiotherapists who have already received a basic training in acupuncture and who wish to extend their practice and achieve an intermediate standard of knowledge.

It links the philosophies of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with theory and practice of Western science in a single, clearly written and highly readable text.

'Acupuncture in Physiotherapy' addresses the important issues on appropriate acupuncture research methodologies, particularly that of placebo control, and enables the reader to judge the quality of RCT evidence.

It also examines more recent research into the mechanisms of acupuncture.

Treatment vignettes are included throughout the text to demostrate the immediate relevance of the sophisticated and subtle TCM thinking to modern physiotherapy practice.

Research papers and texts are cited where they support TCM
theory.
