This beautiful, full-color, 1090-page acupuncture textbook contains foundational information on the integration of sports medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, along with detailed information on over 93 sports and orthopedic injuries. This groundbreaking text is packed with indispensable clinical information, including innovative advanced needle techniques, therapeutic exercise recommendations and herbal medicine treatments. Over 780 detailed drawings and photos help make the material more accessible to the reader.

The text is divided into three sections. Section I consists of Chapters 1-5. It begins with a review of the basic principles of sports medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, particularly in reference to musculoskeletal health and injuries. Detailed discussions on topics such as motor points, Hua Tuo points and their relationship to the neural reflex arc, and the role of the zang fu in musculoskeletal health, help to illuminate how these two systems of medicine complement each other. The rest of Section I reviews the basics of different treatment options including: acupuncture, therapeutic exercise, internal and external herbal medicine, moxibustion and adjunctive modalities like kinesiological taping, cupping, bloodletting and gua sha.

The second and third sections of this book consist of Chapters 6-12, also known as the “injury chapters.” Section II presents the reader with numerous injury conditions involving the neck, shoulder and upper extremity, while Section III covers the low back, hip and lower extremity. Each injury contains a detailed description including typical mechanisms of injury, assessment and treatment suggestions, and a list of common TCM patterns that present in the localized area of the injury. A detailed prognosis that discusses the amount of treatment necessary and the timeframe for rehabilitation is presented at the end of each specific injury. The end of each injury chapter contains a section on rehabilitative exercise that includes proprioceptive, stretching and strengthening exercises that are appropriate for different injuries.

This text is the most comprehensive and thorough English-language text on the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and sports medicine. With its focus on clinical applications, much of the information within this book can be immediately utilized in the acupuncture clinic.

Great Tinned Oysters from South Korea No seed oils !!
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 12)
Great canned smoked oysters- the smoke flavor was very strong in the can I used to make faux Oysters Rockefeller. Next time I will drain them a little more and add a few drops of lemon or vinegar. There were 9 plump oysters carefully packed in olive oil in the first can opened and it made a great meal. I opened another can the next day and drained it well. adding a few drops of vinegar The second can's flavor was balanced, smokey and delicious. Online there are many recipe ideas incorporating these delicious oysters. These appear to be a superior quality of canned seafood from South Korean fisheries and in my opinion there are none of the known food safety issues which are my concern when dealing with the admittedly less expensive (half the price) brands from the other asian fisheries. I consider these a good value due to advertised no industrial seed oils and the quality of the oysters. 4 stars due to the cost/ 5 stars for taste

Absolutely wonderful
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 4)
The most beautiful, delicious smoked oysters I have EVER had, and I've been eating tinned smoked oysters since I was a child in the 90's. And South Korea had very strict laws regarding the sustainability and quality which go into the oyster farming, harvesting and processing, making these a conscious and clean pick, and where else can you get these beauties tinned in healthy olive oil?! Thank you Otter Kingdom!

If you like smoked oysters, you'll LOVE these
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 12)
These are absolutely the best smoked oysters I’ve ever had. There’s a subtle sweetness underneath that adds a pleasant balance to the smokiness, and the usual seawater “fishy” note is far less pronounced than in many other premium brands—which I find refreshing. No unpleasant aftertaste, either. And as shown, they’re huge! I think I’ve found my new favorite brand of smoked oysters. I don’t write reviews very often, but Otter Kingdom Premium Smoked Oysters definitely deserved the praise.

These are delectable oysters & love that they're in olive oil!
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 12)
Our family has been eating oysters for years, but this Otter Kingdom brand has to be the tastiest ever-- tender and flavorful-- Highly Recommended. Re: what a previous reviewer had posted: “These oysters come with a Prop 65 “Reproductive Health” warning on the packaging.” After looking into this Prop 65 warning, I found that most products that come from the ocean could have absorbed mercury, so this California Prop 65 label is stuck on a lot (if not all) of fish/seafood products. But each kind of fish/seafood has a different level of exposure. According to the LiveStrong website article: “Which Fish Has the Highest and Lowest Mercury Levels?” the seafood with the lowest mercury content includes: catfish, clams, crab, herring, OYSTERS, salmon, sardines, shrimp, tilapia fish, tuna fish, among others. These should be eaten no more than 2 to 3 times a week (most people stay within that guideline). It’s the larger-sized fishes that tend to have higher mercury content, so oysters are of no more concern than any other small fish. Just wanted people to not get out bent out of shape about this label. The State of CA has a lot of concerns to deal with-- like wildfire devastation caused by their policy to restrict water from flowing from the north of the state, so it would probably be better for them to focus on THOSE life-endangering issues rather than sticking all these "WARNING" labels on food products! Right?

I Love oysters
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 4)
These oysters are very good tasting. I eat them with pasta and a few tablespoons of white Alfredo sauce. Yum yum. I've always liked oysters but I can't eat them raw anymore because of my immune system.
