Acupuncture has been an important branch of Traditional Chinese
Medicine for over 3000 years and is the most popular practice among
non-Chinese practitioners outside of China. In 1998, the United
States National Institutes of Health (NIH) held a consensus
conference and endorsed the practice of acupuncture as an effective
pain control agent - since then acupuncture has become even more
popular. Clinical practice is always an inviting form of research.
In the field of acupuncture, research concentrates on the
neurological pathways of the meridians and acupoints, the
neurological functional changes within the central nervous system,
and innovative devices being invented, etc. It appears that there
will be a long way before firm explanations can be acquired for the
explanation of the physiological effects of acupuncture. The
technique of acupuncture is easily acquired although the evidence
of efficacy remains subjective. Before the evidence can be sorted
out through scientific explorations, confidence on efficacy can
rely only on literature search and sharing of expert experiences.
This is a user-friendly book for all professionals practicing
acupuncture. The contents consist of all the popular areas of
clinical application viz. pain control and neuromuscular training.
Each chapter is composed of two parts: clinical evidences as
previously recorded in literature and personal experiences of the
author. Acupuncture practice requires a thorough knowledge of the
treatment choices relevant to particular conditions, as well as
their modifications. This book offers quick references for this
purpose.
