Acupuncture Today is Moving!

Office Space Will Double
Acupuncture Today Staff

After more than 16 months in its current location, Acupuncture Today's publisher, MPAmedia, will be taking over a new building. Having grown to a staff of more than 40 people, the new facility offers twice as much office space while maintaining the same size warehouse and storage.

The move will take place from March 30 - April 2. While the production of Acupuncture Today will continue at its monthly pace, the office will be closed on March 30 and April 2. Acupuncture Today's website, acupuncturetoday.com, is housed offsite and will not be affected by the move; however, all e-mail messages sent to Acupuncture Today during this time will be stored on file until the company's Internet access is restored April 3rd. All e-mail addresses will remain the same.

Beginning in April, our new mailing address is as follows:

Acupuncture Today
5406 Bolsa Avenue
Huntington Beach, CA 92649-1021

While the company's local telephone numbers may have to change, all of Acupuncture Today's current toll-free (800) numbers will remain the same. Please update your information and make sure to watch the next few issues of AT for more information.

The State of 21st Century Acupuncture in the U.S. (Pt. 3)
The State of 21st Century Acupuncture in the U.S.

Whether you accept it, avoid it or live somewhere in between, insurance coverage has become a defining issue for our profession. Patients increasingly expect to use their benefits, practitioners want to be compensated fairly for their time and expertise, and the system itself remains – at best – fragmented. The encouraging news is that coverage has expanded in meaningful ways. The challenging news is that reimbursement, across the board, remains inadequate.

Vesicle Formation After Cupping: Clinical Insights & Management Considerations
Vesicle Formation After Cupping: Clinical Insights & Management Considerations

While the formation of erythema and ecchymosis is an anticipated skin response to cupping therapy, the appearance of post-treatment vesicles remains less discussed in clinical literature. This article presents a case study of vesicle formation following cupping therapy, explores underlying pathophysiology, and offers management guidelines to support practitioners in addressing this phenomenon safely and effectively.

Understanding Facial Spasms and Tics
Understanding Facial Spasms and Tics

Facial movements are essential for communication, expression and function. But when these movements become involuntary, they can lead to conditions that are not only physically uncomfortable, but also socially and emotionally distressing. Today, we’re taking a closer look at three common facial motor disorders – blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm and facial tics – and how both Western medicine and TCM view and treat them.
