A Western medical doctor reveals how and why acupuncture really works. Acupuncture, once considered a fringe alternative, is quickly becoming part of mainstream American medicine. Recent scientific studies have recommended the procedure as a safe and effective treatment for myriad health conditions - from asthma to tennis elbow. Now Dr. Glenn S. Rothfeld shares the firsthand experiences of patients who have successfully merged acupuncture into their regular medical treatment plans and explores the research that helps prove that it works. The topics include: making acupuncture part of a total health care plan; finding a qualified acupuncturist; obtaining insurance coverage; knowing what to expect in a first visit to an acupuncturist; and learning which diseases and conditions acupuncture may help improve.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A collaboration between one of the first physicians-acupuncturists in the United States and a prominent medical writer, this book brings acupuncture medicine into the mainstream by highlighting studies never before recognized or understood by the public at large. This is intended to be a very mainstream guide to acupuncture, for people who are more comfortable with a Western perspective and want their information from a medical doctor. Recently, there have been many studies that have encouraged more and more proponents of Western medicine to accept that acupuncture works and can be used in conjunction with Western medicine - that will be the focus of this book. The authors present readers with practical information about acupuncture in the US, including what conditions it's best for, how to find a qualified acupuncturist, whether it's possible to obtain insurance coverage for treatment, and how to work with their primary, mainstream health practitioners to make acupuncture part of their total health care plan. Information on what to expect in a first visit to an acupuncturist is included as well as what to expect from the entire treatment protocol. Acupuncture, once considered a fringe alternative, is becoming part of mainstream American medicine. This work reveals how and why acupuncture really works. It includes topics such as: making acupuncture part of a total health care plan; finding a qualified acupuncturist; and learning which diseases and conditions acupuncture may help improve. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780809297597
