Rezensionen / Stimmen
According to Phyllis Berger, physiotherapist and acupuncturist, chronic pain may be avoided if acute pain is immediately and appropriately treated. Her book shows how to treat the early stages of musculoskeletal or inflammatory joint pain while stressing the need to first determine that the pain is not pointing to a dangerous condition. Finding relief for pain will be a very individual journey of learning and discovery, and Berger offers encouragement that relief is possible, whether it be the result of meditation or medication, exercise or acupuncture, electrical devices, hands-on therapies, or even laughter. - Kristen Morris, Foreword Magazine How do you treat patients and pain? With difficulty? With acupuncture? Or perhaps a combination of techniques. This book abounds with enthusiastic ideas and combinations..The book will appeal to patients who wish to know more about the multi-disciplinary approach and become empowered and knowledgeable participant..Berger produced a well-balanced book which briefly covers the neuroanatomy and physiology of pain in non-rocket science detail...So who will derive most benefit from this book? Clearly the patient and the doctor, but I suggest you buy a copy for your patients' library and enjoy a quiet read yourself. I guarantee that it will add to your treatment expertise in both manual and electroacupuncture. - Colin Lewis, Acupunture in Medicine Do these therapies actually help to relieve the pain?
