This textbook introduces medical practitioners, students, and residents to the theoretical principles and fundamental techniques of medical acupuncture. Aung (dentistry, U. of Alberta) and Chen (ophthalmology, U. of California, Los Angeles) begin with an overview of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), followed by a description of the channels and acupuncture points. Subsequent sections cover treatment techniques; diagnosis and differentiation of syndromes; and microsystems. Some of the specific applications addressed include treatments for osteoarthritis, menopause, and hypertension.
