Exploring a new paradigm in acupuncture

There are two opposing views in Clinical Acupuncture. On one hand there is Traditional Chinese Medicine, with its vague ambiguous cosmology and antiquated diagnostic practices (Pulse and Tongue Diagnosis) that are devoid of inter-examiner reliability. On the other hand there is the "Modernist" view of Acupuncture which basically reduces the practice to Dry Needling trigger points. The question arises: Is there a "Middle Ground" where we can take the best of both worlds, and implement it effectively into daily clinical practice? The answer is yes! My method is the result of nearly four decades of intensive study and clinical practice. These strategies demystify point selection and are very easy to learn. No expensive equipment or franchises.   95+% of what I teach can be performed using NIAPS (Non Invasive Acu-Point Stimulation) for those practitioners that prefer not to needle the patient. My courses are complete modules. No piecemeal sessions. Attendees will leave with the whole package. No disappointments. That is my promise.
