Integrative relationships, and there are many types, offer so much to a practice: referrals, collaboration, learning, support, and validation. They also offer a great way to help advance the entire profession. There are many ways to take advantage of what integration has to offer – you do not need a full blown, employee based integrative job or position to benefit – or take your practice to the next step. No matter the size or type of practice you are in, the tips and tools in this webinar can be of benefit.

This webinar will cover:

  • The big picture of "integration"
  • How the rest of the medical world runs and thrives
  • Innovative ways to establish and maintain these relationships
  • Relationships means referrals, and solid ones
  • Simple and practical tools, tips, guidance

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.

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.
