Unlike the usual textbook which contains a wealth of theory but is short on real life clinical practice, this book is a collection of experienced clinical practitioners bringing the practice of acupuncture to life. These case studies allow the reader to follow these famous acupuncture doctors through their clinical rounds as they use their 'extensive experience' to treat a variety of difficult and complex illnesses. This book combines the point prescriptions of experienced practitioners with solid explanations that detail how and why their treatments are effective. In this book you will not only discover new uses for commonly used points, but will gain insight into point couplets and combinations, as well as needling techniques, that will allow you to improve your clinical effectiveness.
