Acupuncture Styles
in Current
Practice
Martin Wang, MD. , PhD
Abstract:
There
are many different styles of acupuncture in current
practice. Some follow the traditional acupuncture
meridian system, some do not. Each style has its
advantages and disadvantages in clinical application. As
an acupuncturist, it is better to know the difference
among the various acupuncture styles, so as to choose
the proper style of acupuncture for the treatment. For
acupuncture researchers, it is necessary to know that
the textbook style of acupuncture, which is currently
under extensive study for its clinic efficacy, is only
one of several acupuncture styles, though it is used
more than other styles in clinics. For research into the
efficacy of a given acupuncture style, it is necessary
to follow the exact procedure that is requested for that
style of acupuncture, from the diagnosis to the
treatment. For research on the acupuncture mechanism, it
should be kept in mind that any hypothesis for the
mechanism needs to explain the whole acupuncture style,
not only parts of it.
