Working for More Complete, Accurate Lists

Editorial 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.

The Emerging Role of Nicotine in the Integrative Treatment of Long COVID

Long COVID has challenged conventional medical paradigms. There is certainly a growing need for therapies that bridge traditional pharmacology with integrative strategies. Among the more unconventional options, nicotine – delivered via low-dose transdermal patches – has surfaced as a potential tool. While the idea may sound wacky, emerging evidence and clinical anecdotes suggest it warrants exploration.
