75% of pain is caused by trigger points (areas of contracted cells in muscle tissue), but they are drastically under-diagnosed as the source of pain. Trigger points may refer pain and other symptoms both in the local area and/or to other areas of the body, but since over 74% of trigger points are not located in the area where you feel pain, treating the local area does not resolve the problem most of the time.  The most common "referral patterns" have been well documented and diagrammed over decades of research.The introductory chapter of this book includes general guidelines for self-help techniques and muscle care. Chapter 2 contains a diagram of a body divided into zones, with a list of muscles that may contain trigger points which are referring pain and other symptoms to each zone, so that you will know which subsequent chapters you need to read. The second edition has an added extensive Appendix on perpetuating factors that will cause trigger points to form in any of the muscles of the body. By using the "Pain Guides," you can go to each chapter that may harbor trigger points that are the source of your pain. You'll find illustrations of common pain referral patterns that you can compare with your symptoms, and this will help you figure out where the common trigger points causing your pain are likely located. Along with outlining the common symptoms and causes for trigger points for each muscle, there are lists of "helpful hints" for resolving trigger points. Self-help techniques are written out and accompanied by detailed photos to guide you through the techniques.In addition to elbow, lower arm, wrist, and hand pain, conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, bursitis, tendonitis, repetitive strain injuries, traumatic injuries, de Quervain’s tenosynovitis, Dupuytren’s contracture,  Heberden’s nodes, and trigger finger and trigger thumb are addressed. This book draws on the decades of research by Doctors Janet Travell and David G. Simons, combined with the 29 years of clinical experience of Acupuncturist, Neuromuscular Therapist, and author Valerie DeLaune, LAc.

This quick-reference print book is organized by highway/road. You can find trails and public campgrounds based on where you are planning on traveling, rather than finding a trail on the internet and having to figure out where it's located, and then trying to figure out what else might be nearby. In addition to trails and campgrounds, you'll also find information on downhill and cross-country ski areas, biking trails, visitor centers/ranger stations, public use cabins, hut systems, boat launches, river float trips, rest stops, and hostels. You'll know where to get gas in remote locations, and where to take showers and dump RV tanks. Symbols are used so you can get information at a glance. Hikers sometimes ask: "Isn't this all on the internet?" The answer is that much of it is, but aside from much of it being incorrect, it's not organized/synthesized by location. This book was written because of sketchy information "out there" on the internet and other sources. Often the directions to the trailhead are incorrect, poor, or non-existent. The author found and verified directions, and checked basic information such as distances, elevation gains, and routes. Some websites claim to have people verifying their information, but one website actually maps the trail going 6.1 miles in the exact opposite direction of the actual trail! Once a single website gets the information incorrect, it propagates - for example, multiple websites had Curry Ridge Trail and K'esugi Ridge Trail as the same trail with interchangeable names, when in fact they are two separate and unconnected trails (as of 2019). So much information is incorrect (even from government agencies), that trails must be hiked with a GPS to verify information.
