Chinese medicine is a popular option without the risk of adverse side effects that may come with opioid use.
Chinese Medicine for Upper Body Pain further explores other pain management options, introducing treatments such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, and Tui Na (Chinese bodywork). This book provides concise explanations in terms of anatomy, pathology, and etiology for both Western and Chinese medicine, and also provides selfcare instructions that are effective and easy to follow.
Key Features:
Introduces treatments in Chinese medicine including acupuncture with traditional methods such as acupuncture point selection and its modifications, electroacupuncture, point bleeding, auricular medicine, cupping, and moxibustion; herbal formulas with their sources and modifications, and Tui Na therapy
