As part of our commitment to the acupuncture and Asian healing profession, Acupuncture Today is adding an "Acupuncturist Locator" onto our website (acupuncturetoday.com/locator). This will allow the thousands of visitors we see every month to not only learn about acupuncture and Asian healing, but to also find the provider nearest them.
Every provider in our database will be added to the Acupuncturist Locator at no charge. This will make ours the most complete acupuncture directory on the Internet.
As it is important that we provide potential patients with accurate information about you, please review your listing on acupuncturetoday.com. You can do so by going to acupuncturetoday.com/locator. If you would like to make any corrections, you can do so by e-mailing your information to us at: readerservices@mpamedia.com.
While your name and address will be provided, you may add the following additional information:
The above is what we call your "enhanced listing" on the Acupuncturist Locator. There is a small annual cost of $47 per year. (Less than $4 per month!)
In addition, you can also add your enhanced listing to surrounding cities in your area so that when a potential patient searches on that city, your practice will be presented. It is important to note that enhanced listings appear before regular listings, and that they display in the order in which you subscribe to this service.
You can see a sample of an enhanced listing at: acupuncturetoday.com/sample
To activate your enhanced listing, please fill out all of the information on the Acupuncturist Locator form inserted into this issue. Please fax or mail it in with your payment as soon as possible, as the enhanced listings are ranked by the order in which we receive your completed form.
For more information, please call 714-230-3159.
Chronic pain afflicts over 20% of the adult population. Sadly, most MDs have essentially no education in treating pain, beyond offering a few toxic medications. Then they tend to steer people with pain away from those health practitioners who are trained. This puts the acupuncture community on the front lines for addressing this epidemic.
When the body is going through a stressful event, the sympathetic system is activated. This activation will help the body with a life-threatening situation. If this state is activated for prolonged periods of time, it starts to consume energy. These traumatic events that generate stressors in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) will eventually become internalized.

One of the things that makes acupuncture so difficult to measure is that the medicine actually does contain some esoteric aspects. There have been numerous studies that demonstrate the neurochemical reasoning behind why acupuncture points stimulate the autonomic nervous system to enact change However, not all the benefits of TCM can easily be measured by randomized, controlled trials. But does that make them fundamentally and definitively untrue?
