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.
