A surgeon’s protocol that challenges conventional orthopedic practices to help you heal pain naturally while avoiding surgery—or recover faster from a necessary procedure. Far too many individuals have accepted a lower quality of life while contending with painful musculoskeletal conditions including arthritis, rheumatism, tendinitis, and autoimmune diseases. And traditional methods of treatment are often risky and costly with questionable success rates. Bone on Bone is a total lifestyle guide for optimal health and pain-free living. Dr. Meredith Warner—an orthopedic surgeon who performed combat surgery in Iraq and Afghanistan, operates an orthopedic practice, and teaches surgical residents—shows how the same underlying principles that extend life, reduce heart disease, prevent diabetes, and decrease incidences of dementia should be applied to the overall care for orthopedic problems. Bone on Bone will empower readers with the tools and knowledge to naturally treat pain whenever possible by: Promoting natural healing with simple and strategic lifestyle modifications, including time-restricted eating, sleep schedule optimization, and simple exercises Providing guidance on how to foster a strong mind–body connection to improve self-control and better manage pain Explaining how targeted changes to your mindset, eating habits, exercise routine, nutrition, and sleep can relieve common orthopedic pain Breaking down how to successfully navigate medical options—and understanding why some surgeries are unnecessary Helping readers harness their own body’s power of self-repair Offering a step-by-step protocol for improving overall wellness and extending health span Taking steps to combat cognitive decline and boost mental health while also improving musculoskeletal health Regardless of your age or if you have been told you’re “bone on bone,” painful orthopedic problems are not something you’re stuck with. You can activate your body’s natural ability to heal itself—taking control of your health to feel better than you have in years—without surgery.

Develop your vocal skills—whether for singing or speaking—in this comprehensive guide with over 50 illustrations and holistic techniques for vocal training and healing. Understanding the voice as part of a larger system: What interferes with it? And how can we restore it to its fullest potential?   In this innovative book, Theodore Dimon, EdD, shows how each part of the vocal organ (breathing, larynx, throat, and so on) works as part of a larger musculoskeletal system that is often interfered with. Identifying this larger system—and understanding how it works—allows a person to train and improve their voice, whether for speaking or singing. Traditional vocal training methods, says Dimon, cannot be effective without restoring the functioning of the musculature that supports the voice. Enhanced with over 50 detailed full-color illustrations, the book discusses the fallacy of traditional breathing exercises and explains the key to efficient breathing lies in the expansive support of the trunk and rib cage. Investigating the elements needed to produce a strong supported tone, Dimon describes the importance of voice “placement,” or directing the sound to a part of the body to produce a fully rounded, resonant tone. He identifies harmful patterns of speech and singing, and offers helpful methods for reestablishing the natural function of the vocal mechanism. Individual chapters cover elements of the whispered “ah,” producing a pure sung tone, vocal registers, the suspensory muscles of the larynx, and more.“Mystery turned into purest common sense. Indispensable.”—Alan Rickman, actor Read more

Winner of:Certificate of Merit, Association of Medical IllustratorsRather than focusing on dance injuries, this book takes a positive approach showing what a dancer can do to dance better, which, in turn, will decrease injury rates. It presents human anatomy and motion in a functional, dance-specific way that teaches the readers to appreciate and take ownership of their bodies through a tour of the musculoskeletal system and movement analysis. The book is divided into three parts. Part one, Anatomy, describes the specific characteristics that affect motion at each individual joint, demonstrated by a variety of hands-on activities for readers to perform. Part two, Movement Analysis, discusses muscles that produce movement and introduces readers to a system of movement analysis. Part three, Conditioning, provides a practical, integrative approach to exercise for enhanced performance. The written material is accompanied by anatomical line drawings commissioned for the book, photographs, and an assortment of experiential activities specifically designed for dancers. Read more

Although office-based anesthesia administration has been essential in the evolution of outpatient surgery, it is becoming more complex as people live longer and with more comorbid diseases. The purpose of this book is to strengthen the margin of safety of office-based anesthesia administration by helping practitioners determine whether the patients they treat are good candidates for office-based anesthesia. This book is organized into three sections. The first section provides a review of the principles of anesthesia, including the pharmacology of anesthetic agents, local anesthesia, patient monitoring, preoperative evaluation, the airway, and management of emergencies and complications. The major organ systems of the body are reviewed in section two, and the most common comorbid conditions that affect these systems are described in terms of their pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, and anesthesia-related considerations. Section three reviews patient groups that warrant special consideration in the administration of office-based anesthesia, such as geriatric, pediatric, pregnant, and obese patients. Spiral-bound and featuring tabs for quick and easy reference, this important book belongs on the shelf of every clinician who provides anesthesia in the office setting.101 illustrations Contents: Section I: Principles of Anesthesia Administration 1.
