Working for More Complete, Accurate Lists

Acupuncture Today Staff

Earlier this year, Acupuncture Today began an update of its acupuncturist database to make sure that only licensed acupuncturists* and students would receive the publication. As a result, Acupuncture Today now has the most complete, accurate list of licensed acupuncturists on the market. Having an accurate list not only helps keep production costs down, it also ensures that AT's advertisers reach their target market quickly and effectively. MPA Media, Acupuncture Today's publisher, will continue to update and edit its database on a regular basis.

Periodical database updating is just one of the myriad ways Acupuncture Today serves the Oriental medicine profession. Make sure to keep reading this column to learn about new features and updates to AT and acupuncturetoday.com.

*If you practice in a state in which there are no licensing laws, you will still continue to receive Acupuncture Today.

Cultivating the Empowered Patient: Help Them Commit to Their Own Process
Cultivating the Empowered Patient: Help Them Commit to Their Own Process

The most important relationship I seek to nurture in the treatment room is the one a patient has with their own body. We live in a culture that teaches us to override pain, defer to outside authority, and push through discomfort. Patients often arrive hoping I can “fix” them, but the truth is, we can’t do the work for them. We can offer guidance, insight and support, but healing requires their full participation.

TCM’s Potential in Preventing and Treating Cognitive Decline
TCM’s Potential in Preventing and Treating Cognitive Decline

In the U.S alone, approximately one in nine adults (11.1%) report experiencing subjective cognitive decline. A comparable percentage will go on to develop Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. As researchers and clinicians seek integrative solutions outside of conventional pharmacological approaches, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) emerges as a promising, multimodal strategy in the prevention and treatment of cognitive decline.

Transformational Work With Anxiety (Pt. 1): Panic Attack
Transformational Work With Anxiety

When we are in the grips of an anxious pattern, it dominates our brain and nervous system, and we lose our normal body-mind regulation. In this and subsequent articles, I present effective mindfulness-based method* via case study, that we can add to our acupuncture treatments to help clients consciously stop the dysregulating cascade of events and bring “distressed parts” into coherent body-mind-spirit integration.
