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 Essentials of Western Veterinary Acupuncture written by Samantha Lindley and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of pain research is rapidly expanding in both human and veterinary medicine, and has helped increase our understanding of acupuncture. However, many are still highly sceptical about the use of acupuncture and prefer for it to remain far from orthodox veterinary practice. This book seeks to challenge common misgivings by showing how veterinary acupuncture works (for small and large animals), and why it should be established as an orthodox form of treatment. Written from a Western approach, rather than a traditional Chinese Medicine approach, it explains the background and history of acupuncture and includes key information on safety aspects, understanding pain and how acupuncture can help, practical aspects such as types of needles and methods of restraint, and related techniques. Not intended as a techniques manual, this book is a preparatory text for those considering taking an acupuncture course and those wishing to gain a solid understanding of the subject.

Download or read book Principles and Practice of Physiologic Acupuncture written by George Andrew Ulett and published by Warren H Green. This book was released on 1982-01-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acupuncture is the most controversial method of non-pharmacological pain control in contemporary medicine. This form of treatment originated in China some 4000 years ago. It has been of interest in the US for scarcely a decade, although widely used in Europe since early in this century and universally acclaimed for it's pain-relieving qualities. In this manual we have reviewed evidence in support of a physiological basis for acupuncture. We describe methods for needle application and illustrate examples of motor, trigger point and neurotome area stimulation for the treatment of pain and other conditions. The use of this approach has permitted a rational interpretation of the beneficial results obtained and permitted modification of treatments as necessary on a scientific basis.
