Book Reviews
"...offers an introduction to the Mazzanti AcuOsteo Method(R) for treating musculoskeletal pain in an easy-to-follow manner. Sections are broken up by body parts, making it a wonderful resource for readers to deepen their understanding of treating different areas of the body. The book’s purpose is to be a handbook for acupuncturists and osteopath providers as they continue to better understand how to effectively treat musculoskeletal pain.... It does a great job providing comprehensive information on treating musculoskeletal pain of the extremities.... Each section provides detailed anatomy and treatment principles for each specific extremity.... very well organized and draws clear parallels from Chinese Medicine pathways to biomedical diagnoses.... I highly recommend this book not only to professional acupuncturists and osteopaths in the field, but also to students in clinical practice."
