Additional Information

Abstract

In Segmental Anatomy the correlations between spinal nerves and segments in skin, musclar system and bones are formidably illustrated and written. The projection areas of internal organs on the body surface area are deduced from the anatomy of the nervous system.

These correlations between spinal nerves and the periphery of the body explain how acupuncture, neural, and manual therapies take effect.

Great accessibility through:

  • Full colour images
  • Drawings that depict the correlations in detail
  • Clearly structured layout facilitating the reading of this complex subject
