ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
In Musculoskeletal Disorders: Healing Methods from Chinese Medicine, Orthopaedic Medicine, and Osteopathy, acupuncturist and orthopedic practitioner Alon Marcus shows how a complementary approach to diagnosis and treatment of these disorders can use acupuncture, manual therapy, injections, exercise and medications, both Eastern and Western; and that Chinese medicine can be reconciled with western orthopedic models. Balancing multiple theoretical approaches and healing paradigms in a diagnostic and treatment context, Alon Marcus offers a sophisticated text for practitioners applying these insights.
USER REVIEWS
"This text is a must for any practioner who wants to learn about musculoskeletal medicine. The text integrates the diagnostic strength of Cyriax'Orthopaedic Medicine, the energy of Chinese Medicine, the ligament diagnostics of Hackett, Ongley and Dorman, Travell's Myofascial Pain, the biochemistry of nutrition, and the spinal diagnostics and philosophy of Osteopathy. This is a massive work that encompasses and coalesces the many and seemingly disparate fields that any sophisticated practitioner needs to know. The information is useful both for understanding multiple approaches, and as "how to" book for performing many of the recommended procedures. It is not a book that will languish shelf but will be well worn by continued use. Bravo and well done!

"Dr. Marcus synthesizes three systems of discipline- energetic, medical and functional in a very coherent manner. It is an extremely difficult task to integrate Western orthopedic medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, but I believe that Dr. Marcus has done a beautiful Job. This book is the first of his kind and is an important addition to Western literature.
