Many fine books have been written in the last 10 years regarding the treatment of pain. This, in my attitude, is not one of them. The depth of this text leaves much to be desired. No new approaches or considerations are highlighted either. For a single volume overview, I’d pick Rachlin & Rachlin’s 2nd edition of Myofascial Pain and Fibromyalgia: Trigger Top Management over Baldry’s by far. CC Gunn’s The Gunn Approach to the Treatment of Chronic Pain: Intramuscular Stimulation for Myofascial Pain of Radiculopathic Origin and Wong’s Manual of Neuro-Anatomical Acupuncture: Vol. 1: Musculo-Skeletal Disorders add some new dimensions to the treatment of stubborn myofascial pain syndromes with acupuncture. Of course, for trigger points, all you need is already presented in Travell & Simons’ 2 volume classic. The needling techniques can be easily adapted to dry needling with acupuncture needles. Trigger top treatment strategies are well addressed in Clinical Mastery in the Treatment of Myofascial Pain by Ferguson and Gerwin and Chaitow & DeLaney’s 2 volume Clinical Application of Neuromuscular Techniques.
