A deep dive into musculoskeletal pain…
In this book, Dr. Tsai aims to offer readers a wider and deeper view of osteoarthritis, soft tissue rheumatism, and osteoporosis. Musculoskeletal pain is very common, but often misdiagnosed, and, therefore, treatment can be misguided. Not all pain should be dismissed as osteoarthritis, as several other conditions exist that may be the source of pain. To clarify the subtleties of this issue to readers and health providers, Dr. Tsai grouped the chapters anatomically and emphasized the similarities and differences of their symptoms, unique locations, and different treatment options. The main goal of this book is to help prevent patients and healthcare providers from being misguided by relying on X-ray, CT scan, and MRI findings alone.
This book is broken into three parts:
Part 1 focuses on the causes and symptoms of osteoarthritis and soft tissue rheumatism. Topics are organized anatomically, discussing OA and soft tissue rheumatism in various sections of the body.
Part 2 lists some treatment options for osteoarthritis, including pharmacological treatments, dietary supplements, exercise, and regenerative treatments.
Part 3 discusses osteoporosis, going through causes, symptoms, and treatment options.
Osteoarthritis, Soft Tissue Rheumatism, & Osteoporosis was written to be easily read by anyone, no matter their level of medical knowledge. Additionally, several illustrations are included to help visualize concepts and make them easier to grasp.

Myofascial Pain, Neurogenic Pain, & Chronic Pain Syndrome
eBook Verison – $10 | Paperback – Call for pricing (386) 676-0307
Chronic pain isn’t always caused by arthritis…
Myofascial pain, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain syndrome are often misdiagnosed and mistreated due to physician ignorance and the lack of verifiable findings on X-ray, MRI, and other imaging equipment. Most healthcare providers and physicians focus on arthritis pain and do not realize these disorders are far more common than osteoarthritis. This misconception may be one of the important reasons the effectiveness of invasive procedures and surgeries are far from satisfactory. In this book, Dr. Tsai aims to discuss these conditions, how they can be differentiated from arthritis, and possible treatment options.
