内容简介

Contemporary Medical Acupuncture aims to bridge the gap between classical　acupuncture therapy and contemporary medicine to achieve their ultimate　integration. Based on updated reviews and systematic analyses, the meridians are　actually systems of physiological and pathological reflexes in the body, and　acupuncture therapy is a type of reflexotherapy. In the book, a novel concept called　whole body reflex zones is proposed, which may efficiently inherit and clarify the　meridian system. The systems methodology, together with the authors' clinical　expertise of 40 years, is applied to raise the reproducibility of effectiveness in　treating various indications of acupuncture, especially intractable cases.　Outstanding features of the book are its incisive and concrete descriptions about　theories and techniques of clinical acupuncture, a novel systems approach, and a　great deal of case studies. It is an advanced, practical, and valuable resource for　any acupuncture practitioner interested in sharpening clinical skills, as well as an　essential and comprehensive text for medical doctors and other healthcare　professionals who desire to learn the essence of medical acupuncture and integrate
it into thei general practice.
