Volume One of this three-volume book series, deals with musculoskeletal disorders. It includes a brief summary and description of TCM, of the basic meridians, of standard nomenclature, and of the biochemical mechanism involved.

Treatment formularies of points are presented for the neck, back and perineum, shoulder, elbow and forearm, wrist and hand, hip, knee and leg, and ankle and foot.

There are clearly labelled and rendered illustrative drawings depicting point locations from a surface, muscle, and skeletal juxtaposition. Sets of tables identify meridian, acupuncture point, and location, and other tables identify innervation correlations for muscle, action, peripheral nerve, spinal segment, and acupuncture point.
