Orthopedics in Primary Care
Andrew J. Carr , William Hamilton
editore: Butterworth-Heinemann Ltd
pagine: 196
Orthopaedic complaints make up a large part of a general practitioner's workload. Few doctors will complete a surgery without one patient at least presenting an orthopaedic problem. Furthermore, as the population ages, the so-called 'degenerative' conditions will continue to increase. As with most conditions, the large majority of othopaedic complaints are managed entirely in primary care, this book aims to help primary care clinicians to diagnose and treat these complaints and to assist in identifying the small number who would benefit for referral to a specialist. It has been written to cater for both clinicians in training, and for those who are already in practice.

Acupuncture in Physiotherapy
Key Concepts and Evidence-Based Practice
Val Hopwood
editore: Butterworth-Heinemann Ltd
pagine: 275
Acupuncture has long been recognised 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 with the 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 demonstrate 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. Val Hopwood is an experienced practitioner and is well known for her acupuncture courses.
Her ecumenical approach to the subject avoids an abstract separation of the two strands of acupuncture and in its juxtaposition of science and mythology provides a stimulating and original survey. Full of insights, this book will be required reading not only for physiotherapists but any health professional who uses acupuncture in their practice.
