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.

Single Point Acupuncture and Moxibustion for 100 Diseases is a comprehensive yet easy-to-follow guide to the clinical application of single point acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, with a special emphasis on methods and needle techniques. Single point acupuncture and moxibustion therapy differs from other forms of acupuncture in that only one point is selected during each session. The single point technique is noted for its quick therapeutic response and exceptional results, despite using far fewer points than traditional acupuncture therapy. It is a simple technique for practitioners to master, and patients are quick to extol the virtues of the single-point approach. Author Dr. Decheng Chen describes in detail how to treat one hundred of the most common clinical ailments, including headaches, neck pain, hypertension, and even the common cold. Dr. Chen uses both Western and traditional Chinese medical theory to describe his treatment methods. Each section consists of an introduction to the disease, a detailed explanation of the needle technique used, a case study of the treatment, and a discussion. With its easy-to-use format and step-by-step instructions, Single Point Acupuncture and Moxibustion for 100 Diseases is the definitive single point acupuncture guide for teachers, students, and acupuncture practitioners alike.
