Book excerpt: Essentials of Electroacupuncture, 3rd Edition adds new and valuable resources to existing textbooks. It is a formal textbook, which provides complete and detailed instructions how to perform electro-acupuncture for stroke, polyneuropathy, spinal disc disease, other painful neurological, musculoskeletal diseases, and functional disorders. There are 6.8 million stroke survivors and 20 million polyneuropathy patients in the United States. Electro-acupuncture brings clinical remissions much earlier than traditional acupuncture, especially when Extraordinary Channels are used. This makes electro-acupuncture the preferred procedure in terms of time and cost spent for treatments. The effectiveness of electro-acupuncture makes a positive contribution to the healthcare spending in which the cost of healthcare on the national scale rises every year at an exponential rate. Also early clinical remissions from electro-acupuncture reduces the costs of monthly drug refills and equipment rentals such as wheel chairs and walkers. The author is a board-certified internist, and he maintains a pain management acupuncture practice in Burbank, California. In this updated edition, Dr. Choi articulates the theoretical and technical basis of the practice, detailing its history and development, diagnostic principles, and techniques for safe and effective treatment. The new edition adds to explanations and prescriptions related to the extraordinary channels, the four types of body constitution, and pulse diagnosis. When the extraordinary channels and the diagnostic schemes are used, clinical remissions arrive earlier. The importance of the source of channel energy and its movement is stressed with new selections from the writings of legendary acupuncturists Pian Que and Hua Tuo. The result is a more comprehensive explanation of the practice and theory of acupuncture as a whole, and electro-acupuncture specifically. A valuable guide and instruction book for practicing acupuncturists, students, and those interested in Chinese traditional medicine, Essentials of Electroacupuncture, 3rd Edition honors past masters of acupuncture while looking toward the future.

Book excerpt: Our growing database of knowledge regarding anatomy, orthopedics, and electroacupuncture has expanded the possibility and potential for acupuncture efficacy. it is our duty to embrace this current knowledge to enhance the effects of acupuncture treatments that will better serve our patient population, as well as the profession as a whole. Orthopedic Electroacupuncture represents the marriage between anatomically significant points and electroacupuncture, and is an integral part of an evolutionary advancement in acupuncture techniques. With over 75,000 patient visits and 28 years working in a pain specialty hospital setting, and private practice, Rick Bernard has been perfecting the use of electroacupuncture for painful conditions. Two seminal discoveries are discussed which may shape the way acupuncture treatments are utilized for future generations.

Download or read book Acupuncture Therapy for Neurological Diseases written by Ying Xia and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-08 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acupuncture therapy has been practiced in China and other Asian countries for more than two thousand years. Modern clinical research has confirmed the impressive therapeutic effect of acupuncture on numerous human ailments, such as controlling pain, nausea, and vomiting. However, the biological mechanisms of acupuncture are still under debate. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the mechanism of acupuncture therapy is explained by a meridian model. According to this model, acupuncture is believed to treat the diseased organs by modulating two conditions known as Yin and Yang, which represent all the opposite principles that people find in the universe, both inside and outside the human body. Yin and Yang complement each other, and are subjected to changes between each other. The balance of Yin and Yang is thought to be maintained by Qi, an energy substance flowing constantly through the meridian, a network connecting all the organs of the body. The illness, according to this theory, is the temporary dominance of one principle over the other, owing to the blockade of the Qi from flowing through the meridian under certain circumstance. The axiom of “No stagnation, No pain” in TCM summarizes this concept. Thus, the goal of acupuncture treatment is to restore the balance of Yin and Yang conditions in the diseased organ(s). This theory has been considered to be useful to guide this ancient therapy, such as carrying out diagnosis, deciding on the principle, and selecting the acupoints.

Download or read book Basics of Acupuncture written by Gabriel Stux and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1987, our first book Acupuncture: Textbook and Atlas received rave reviews (e.g., in New England Journal of Medicine). This prompted us to write this smaller, affordable version in order to reach a wider audience. The smaller format has been so successful that we are now into our fourth revised edition. This has given us the opportunity to update and improve the book. For example, nu merous new references to scientific advances have been added. Also the section on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was ad ded because it gives a more complete picture of the current prac tice of acupuncture. Acupuncture has come a long way since our first book in 1987. There has been a surge of interest in treating drug addictions by ear acupuncture in 450 centers world wide. The treatment of nau sea and vomiting has been so well tested (scientifically) that the FDA (USA) is considering making this the major indication for acupuncture in America. Research into its efficacy for neurologi cal and pulmonary diseases is also gaining credibility. No longer is chronic pain the only scientifically acceptable use for acupuncture (based on the endorphin mechanism).

Download or read book The Biology of Acupuncture written by George Andrew Ulett and published by Warren H. Green Inc.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acupuncture, with its 3500-year-old history, is one of the most widely used methods of alternative medicine. Despite great advances in scientific knowledge, however, it is still performed as a mystical ritual explained in pre-scientific terms of hypothesised meridians, Qi, Yin/Yang and pulse diagnosis. THE BIOLOGY OF ACUPUNCTURE is a scientifically supported explanation of the basic biological mechanisms and processes underlying the practice of traditional Chinese acupuncture. It is also a teaching manual by which an evidence-based, no-needle, no-drug method of treatment can be easily learned in a very short time. There is no longer any need for hours of studying ancient Chinese metaphysical theories and complex rituals. Modem Chinese scientists working at Beijing Medical University have broken through the veil of mystery surrounding traditional Chinese acupuncture. This book reviews their thirty years of stringent neurophysiological and neurochemical research through which they discovered the real meaning of such hypothetical constructs as Qi, body energy and meridians. It also discusses the effect of electrical stimulation on specific neuropeptides in the central nervous system. Here presented for the first time is a treatment method with the benefits of acupuncture in a form compatible with the teachings of Western medicine. It is a method that should become available in the office of every practitioner of medicine. It is a simple but highly effective 'no drug' method for treating patients with pain, psychiatric problems and other chronic illnesses.
