Product Description:
While ancient concepts of yin and yang and meridians have been effective for sustaining traditional knowledge of acupuncture, contemporary clinicians need a more scientific structure to apply these complex teachings. A book that examines this Eastern medicine through the systematic principles of anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry is long overdue. Addressing acupuncture from a unique perspective, Acupuncture: An Anatomical Approach abandons the traditional Oriental medicine approach in favor of a more analytical scientific presentation. This innovative book describes the progression of chronic pain in the peripheral nervous system, demonstrating that points conducting pain impulses through the peripheral nerves become more tender to palpation throughout life in response to episodes of pain, and this happens in a predictable sequence. This sequence, expressed as a "pain quantification," has important prognostic significance to the person's response to acupuncture, as well as other treatments. The author has diminished the ****physical aura of classical acupuncture and reinvented it as a medical science. This original contribution adds new knowledge to the understanding of the progression of pain throughout a person's lifetime.
Summary: All this? In ONLY 232 Pages??
Rating: 1
This product purports to dispense with all those old fashioned "nonsensical" Chinese medicine theories and teach Acupuncture with nice scientific western concepts.
And it purports to do all this in 232 Pages?
Now THAT is nonsensical.
Another expensive pretend book from CRC.
Summary: Two Thumbs Up
Rating: 5
I am an actively practicing Osteopathic Family Physician. I incorporate a lot of manipulation and trigger point injections into my practice. I have been studying acupuncture (Traditional Chinese Medicine) now for about six months. TCM acupuncture is difficult for my western trained brain to grab a hold of and to be able to put into practical application. Anatomical Acupuncture is a breath of fresh air. This is a book that I, again as a western trained physician, can immediately grasp and immediately implement in my own clinical practice. I have already begun treating a few select patients based on what I learned in this book and am already seeing postive clinical outcomes. I highly recommend this book to you. You won't be disappointed. Well worth the investment.
Summary: Without the hocus-pocus
Rating: 5
Insightful book that attempts to explain acupuncture from a scientific physiologic bent without the hocus-pocus found in a lot of acupuncture books written today.
After reading a lot of acupuncture books about the weird "pulse diagnosis," the mysterious "chi" (from those Kung Fu movies where the Kung Fu fighters all seem to have superhuman abilities--maybe the NBA should sign them up for a multimillion dollar contract, they should play a mean game of basketball), and those strange chi "meridians" that connect the "triple burner" to the "governor vessel" to the kitchen sink and how acupuncture should only be performed by a man with a red carnation at certain times of the day when the sun and moon and Mercury and Jupiter are in "harmony" with each other under the direction of an astrologist who is wearing green suspenders, I got so sick that I just wanted to vomit.
This book cuts out all those outdated, mystic, superstitious, ideas that were used to explain acupuncture in medieval times, and brings it more into accord with 21st Century thinking grounded on the laws of physics, chemistry and physiology.
It's been a breath of fresh air reading this book.
Summary: A logical, medical science based approach to acupuncture
Rating: 5
As a physician, I have found Dr. Dung's approach offers the most logical and reasonable means of understanding and using acupuncture as a pain relieving modality for everyday clinical practice. A simple review of a bit of gross anatomy (emphasizing the peripheral nervous system) is recommended. Any well motivated and prudent physician can begin using this information fairly rapidly and will soon see that allegiance to "Yin/Yang" theory and other philosophical constructs is unnecessary. Neuromodulation is based on basic science research and is the logical basis of this wonderful (but underutilized) modality. I highly recommend this book to any physician/dentist who has had interest in acupuncture but was turned off by the ****physical baggage it has carried (until now).
