Product Description
Written by widely respected acupuncture expert Yun-tao Ma, PhD, LAc, Biomedical Acupuncture for Sports and Trauma Rehabilitation shows techniques that will enhance athletic performance, accelerate recovery after intensive workouts, and speed trauma rehabilitation after injuries or surgeries. Evidence-based research is used to support the best and most effective techniques, with over 100 illustrations showing anatomy, injury, and clinical procedures. Unlike many other acupuncture books, this book uses a Western approach to make it easier to understand rationales, master techniques, and integrate biomedical acupuncture into your practice.
"Finally, a well-referenced, common sense approach to dry needling in sports medicine that discusses maintenance, overtraining, and the effect of the stress response in atheletes. This is a long-awaited book that will leave you feeling comfortable with a technique that is very useful not only for atheletes, but for all patients of your practice."

- Unique! Explores acupuncture treatments for sports injuries in the acute phase, rehabilitation, and prevention.
- Includes acupuncture for performance enhancement and injury prevention, emphasizing pre-event acupuncture used to help increase muscle output, assist with pre-competition stress, and prevent soft tissue injury.
- Provides evidence-based research to show the science behind the best and most effective techniques, based on the author's background in neuroscience and cell biology and his 35 years of clinical acupuncture experience.
- Offers an overview of the science of biomedical acupuncture including the mechanisms of acupuncture, anatomy and physiology of acupoints, and discussion of human healing potential.
- Uses terminology and concepts familiar to Western-trained health professionals, making the material easier to understand and incorporate into practice.
- Includes more than 100 illustrations showing anatomy, injury, and clinical procedures.
- Covers useful techniques including those that increase muscle force output, joint flexibility and stability; prevent sports injuries like muscle sprain, tendonitis, bone strain, stress/fatigue fracture and bone spurs; reinforce muscle output for specific sports; normalize physiology of dysfunctional soft tissues; predict treatment response; reduce physiological stress; use the new Vacuum Therapy for deep tissue dysfunctions; and balance the biomechanics of musculoskeletal system.

Integrative Systemic Dry Needling (ISDN) is a unique new medical procedure that is designed to restore and normalize soft tissue dysfunction before injuries (prevention) and after injuries.
All athletes experience injuries. Some athletes are never completely able to recover from injuries that become chronic and make them more prone to new injuries. Some athletes come to believe that their performance is irreversibley impaired by injury while they are still in their prime time, and some do have to face the reality that their athletic career is limited by chronic injuries. For many, however, this limitation is not inevitable. Some injuries can be successfully prevented by using the techniques introduced in this book, and it is possible to greatly improve recovery from both injury and surgery if the mechanisms of integrative systemic dry needling (ISDN) are understood by athletes themselves, their coaches, and their doctors.
The techniques introduced in this book will enhance the physical performance of all athletes due to routine procedure for reduction of physical and physiological stess, prevent common injuries, accelerate recovery from overtraining stress, promote rehabilitaiton after injury and surgeries, and prolong athletic careers by providing systemci maintenance.
All healthcare professionals who are involved in sports medicine will find that integrative systemic dry needling techniques will offer many clinical results that conventional approaches can not offer.
Incredible resource for physical therapists performing dry needling March 29, 2010

Integrative Systemic Dry Needling has brought a whole new dimension to physical therapy. Dr. Yun-tao Ma's dry needling techniques described in this book allow for dynamic treatment of the body as a whole. I am amazed at the body's reaction to Dr. Ma's dry needling techniques- the rapid reduction of pain, edema, and muscle spasm which in turn restores proper postural alignment enhancing total body function.

Dr. Ma's Biomedical Acupuncture for Sports and Trauma Rehabilitation is an excellent resource with direct application to clinical practice. The book provides an understanding of acupuncture based upon western medical principles and although the title focuses on sports and trauma the information may be easily applied to a variety of populations.

Dr. Ma's follow-up book to his pain management text is an invaluable resource and takes acupuncture pain management to a whole new level. As a chiropractor focusing on managing pain and improving function in athletes and also the general population I use his acupuncture techniques daily and find that my patients experience rapid and long lasting relief. Dr. Ma has demystified acupuncture taking it from it's roots thousands of years ago and brings it to a modern day technique providing a rationale that we can all understand based on known physiological processes. A must read for any clinician practicing acupuncture.

The information on dry needling techniques contained in this book by Dr Ma is invaluable and provides a comprehensive immuno-neuro-physiological basis for management of patients with high demand physical occupations and pursuits. The book covers a logical sequence of concepts of management of these problems, provides strategies and techniques for dry needling and demands one to take multifactorial and comprehensive assessment and treatment approaches, requiring me to think a great deal about the way I practice and the core skills and techniques I employ on a daily basis. The needling strategy fits very well into my paradigm of practice. This book is an excellent reference material to compliment the practical courses offered by Dr Ma.
