The Nei Jing, pictured to the right is one the first texts on acupuncture, it was written 2-3 thousand years ago. Directly beside the illustration of the Nei Jing, is a traditional acupuncture meridian map. For centuries, acupuncture practice was based on these ancient concepts. Even without the benefit of modern technology, acupuncture based on these traditional concepts produced some remarkable results. Today’s acupuncture combines the ancient and the new. Modern scientific investigation into traditional practice and principles of acupuncture is producing results “the ancients” could only dream about. Many of the traditions and customs of acupuncture are being validated, new and better ways of finding and stimulating acupuncture points are being discovered. This means patients are obtaining faster and better results from more effective treatments based on science.
Acupuncture points have decreased electrical skin resistance that can be measured with a meter. This modern advance in acupuncture wasn't available to the early practitioners of acupuncture. To the right is me measuring the electrical output of a point known as GB-20. This point is often used to treat various types of headaches. The point is associated with the occipital nerves which are hyper-irritable in migraine and other types of headaches. The bottom picture is me measuring the electrical activity of an acupuncture point known as LI-4 on my hand. The electrical meter will show activity only at acupuncture points and not at nearby areas. Combining the ancient art of traditional Chinese acupuncture with modern technology commonly provides outstanding results for patients that old time acupuncturists would take months or years to produce.
Technology and modern methods have separated acupuncture fact from acupuncture fiction. Assuring the best, most effective application of acupuncture concepts.
This really benefits the patient.
