Description
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.
