Acupuncturist Locator Makes Lots of Impressions

Editorial Staff

The latest report from acupuncturetoday.com's Acupuncturist Locator shows that practitioners who have placed their information on the Locator received an average of five referrals in just one month (December). The number of monthly referrals has been between five and nine each month since the inception of the Locator last year.

The primary reason why the Acupuncturist Locator is so well used is that it is the most complete directory of acupuncturists and doctors of Oriental medicine on the Internet. The enhanced Locator service is open to all acupuncturists, regardless of affiliation.

The enhanced listing is similar to a mini-website in that it can include a photograph; contact information (as desired); information on your services; and four additional pages (pop-up windows) on your education, techniques, other services and memberships. Those interested in more information on this service should call Acupuncture Today's Reader Services department at 714-230-3159.

Ensuring Success With First-Time Clients
Ensuring Success With First-Time Clients

As modern medical standardization continues, the field of traditional Chinese medicine has the advantage of comprehensive personalization. For rare or complex cases, deeper consideration of constitution is invaluable. Proper constitutional assessment, especially with first-time clients, can guide desirable and predictable outcomes. This leads to a higher rate of return, and greater trust between you and your patient.

A Return-on-Health Framework for Whole-Person Care

Though the creation of a financially sustainable, health-promoting model feels far away today, we are casting a vision for a full return on health, believing that this compels us to keep one foot firmly rooted in caring for the sick and the other foot firmly founded in maintaining health. Shifting from a fee-for-service model to value-based care using a phased approach is paramount.

Demystifying the Use of Laser Therapy in TCM Clinics
Demystifying the Use of Laser Therapy in TCM Clinics

Laser therapy has emerged as a powerful tool in the realm of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). This new modality fits beautifully into the toolbox of the modern acupuncturist, as it can be used as a hybrid form of stimulation to acupuncture points, meridians, organs, nerves, and symptomatic areas in a new way that blends both moxa and energetic needle-like responses.
