About this title

Synopsis

Three acupuncture therapies in a single pocket-sized text!

Pocket Atlas of Acupuncture

This is the book professionals have been asking for! For the first time, a single pocket atlas covers all the major body and ear acupuncture points, as well as the most commonly occurring trigger points. Detailed descriptions of the localization, needling depth, indications, and functions of each point are provided. The different schools of ear acupuncture (e.g. Chinese v. Nogier), often a source of confusion for many practitioners, are presented side-by-side, enhancing this book's usefulness as a daily reference guide.

The authors come from diverse specialties, giving you the most complete and accurate information available. Acupuncture points are described using the "visual-didactic processing system", which is rapidly gaining praise and recognition for its easy-to-use format. The clearly written text is augmented by high-quality, color images.

Pocket Atlas of Acupuncture is ideal as a quick reference in your daily practice or as an exam preparation guide. This wealth of information makes it invaluable to experienced practitioners and to those new to acupuncture. This book is destined to become a classic text in the field! Hans-Ulrich Hecker is a naturopath in private practice in Kiel, Germany. Angelika Steveling is a chirotherapist and NLP practitioner in private practice in Essen, Germany.

From the Author

The basics presented here will help the targeted preparation for an exam and will also serve the actively practicing physician as a quick reference for orientation. The experienced acupuncturist will find intersting details for precise point localization as far as anatomical guiding structures are concerned. The major trigger points are described in connection with acupuncture points according to practical relevance. Gnathological aspects are particularly emphasized as they play a major role within the holistic approach.
