Product Description
Review
"Where this book wins over others on the subject is in Dr Campbell's ability to deliver a level of detail just right for the working clinician. As an advocate of modern/Western acupuncture in osteopathic practice I am obviously keen on this book since it succeeds in building a bridge over a raging river that was previously to frightening to cross alone." "Marcus Webb", The Osteopath
Product Description
The main difficulty facing the newcomer to acupuncture is deciding where to place the needles. There is a bewildering range of possibilities, including traditional acupuncture, the use of trigger points, and the segmental approach. This book aims to simplify the choice by building on what is already known. It shows that modern acupuncture is an extension of what health professionals already know. Becoming skilled in acupuncture doesn't require the learning of an ever-increasing number of acupuncture points;rather, it consists in applying existing clinical knowledge in a different way. Acupuncture is an extension of what is already known. It is a rational procedure, based on modern anatomy, physiology, and pathology. This book is in four parts: Part 1 looks at traditional acupuncture in relation to the modern version and describes how they differ from each other. Part 2 considers the important question of safety and then explains the principles on which the approach used in the book is based. Part 3 applies the principles described in Part 2 to the treatment of the disorders for which acupuncture is suitable. The approach used is regional rather than systemic, because this accords best with the way in which acupuncture is applied in practice. Part 4 looks at the use of electricity in acupuncture and at specialized forms of acupuncture such as auriculotherapy. There are also chapters on self-acupuncture by patients and the best way to integrate acupuncture into one's existing practice. Finally, the future of acupuncture in the West is reviewed, with a survey of modern research and its problems. This is a practical manual for health professionals practicing acupuncture.

Clear concise and very well written,

This review is from: Acupuncture in Practice: Beyond Points and Meridians (Paperback)
This book was awesome- easy to read, clearly written and with respect towards the Chinese side of things.
IT is a good book for the novice acupuncturist who may feel bewildered at the vast number of points and approaches to treating a condition. It demystifies the treatment, and the author comes up with a new concept - the acupuncture treatment area - ATA- which makes sense too as in any small area the inervation is likely to be the same to tissues adjacent to each other! Overall a neccessary book for the library of all Western trained acupuncturists.

opinion only,
This review is from: Acupuncture in Practice: Beyond Points and Meridians (Paperback)
Much information given on the opinion by the author and therefore leads to his bias. Not recommended for general interest.

This review is from: Acupuncture in Practice: Beyond Points and Meridians (Paperback)
. . . for saving me £21.99 !!
I only had to read that the author believes acupuncture to be about stimulating the peripheral nervous system ("innervation") to realise that this book was definitely not for me! To demystify is to explain the mysterious, and do so from a place of profound, and by definition, uncommon insight. If a serious student of acupuncture wants to "go beyond" points and meridians in terms of understanding acupuncture then I'd recommend the study and practice of Qi Gong and/or Tai Chi Chuan - anything else is frankly less about demystifying and more about dumbing down. Any of BK Frantzis' books would be a good start!
