FAQs

Q. Where does the interruption of energy flow occur?

A. In either or both locations: (1) The channels of energy flow, located throughout the body just beneath the skin surface, carry the disruption; (2) The spinal column develops misaligned vertebrae, which compress vital nerve trunks.

Q. How do you detect the disturbance in energy flow within a patient?

A. Practitioners detect issues by many methods, including sure signs, symptoms, pain spots, organ reflex points, and pulse or instrumental findings.

Q. Assuming I’m going to take acupuncture treatments, how are they performed?

A. First, practitioners determine the related skin points. Then they treat them appropriately using one of over thirty methods of stimulation. Some of these methods include: 1) inserting long needles (mainly for acupuncture anesthesia during surgery), 2) penetrating the skin with short needles, 3) using non-piercing needles, 4) applying fingertip pressure (called shishin or “finger needles”), 5) taping metallic balls to the points, 6) applying electrical stimulation, and 7) performing moxabustion (burning herbs over the points). Note: Many patients prefer the non-piercing needle (teishin) technique because it is practically painless, produces no blood, carries no risk of infection, and often delivers results equal to or better than other methods.

Q. What are some of the conditions commonly treated by acupuncture?

A. Textbook listed conditions run into the hundreds. Typical ailments usually responding to acupuncture health care include: neuralgias, headaches, trigeminal neuralgia, tics, spasms, muscular rheumatism; neuralgia of the shoulders and arm, tennis elbow, osteoarthritis, rheumatism, ulcers, stomach problems, diarrhea, hepatitis, asthma, bronchitis, shortness of breath, coughs, certain types of heart trouble, abnormal blood pressure, hemorrhoids, lumbago, bladder irritation, bed wetting, specific kidney problems, female disorders, impotence, glaucoma (sometimes), weak eyesight, hay fever, loss of smell, tonsillitis, loss of hearing, skin conditions, and even nervous or psychiatric factors based on the fact that often mental problems arise from physical disorders.

Q. Are spinal adjusting treatments necessary with acupuncture?

A. Absolutely. Spinal adjusting is part of acupuncture health care. World authorities, including Feliz Mann, M.D. of England; Paul Nogier, M.D. of France; and Kunzo Nagayama, M.D. of Japan are very emphatic on this aspect of “getting well.” Dr. Mann states that many internal diseases are cured by the spinal adjustment alone. Leaving the adjustment (chiropractic) out of the treatment plan invites failure.

Q. Has any research, other than empirical, been conducted?

A. Meridian therapy is natural healing based on knowledge of another biological principal new only to the western world. Soviet scientists Novinski and Vorobiev have proven the premise of ancient Chinese healing by localizing meridian points with a Wheatstone bridge, using an alternating current to prevent polarization. This was fed by a generator of sonic frequency and recorded on a cathode ray oscillograph. When the electrode touched an active acupuncture point the amplitude of the wave on the oscillograph diminished. Best results were derived from frequencies of a few kilohertz and voltage from several millivolts to 4 volts.
