Prelude

I am about to share with you ideaswhich I have put into practice toachieve excellent clinical results

Why did I choose to explore novel pointlocation and combinations?

Why didn’t I just practice what I wastaught?

Prelude I am fortunate to have studied with

numerous TCVM experts There are 4 in particular who I would like

to honour for inspiring me to investigate

acupuncture point use and location Dr. Are Thoreson Dr. Richard Tan Dr. Keija Zhang Dr. Jan Still

Prelude

Richard Tan, a human acupuncturist, isfamous for his “Revolutionary Acupuncture” which achieves rapid clinical results

His system has 3 major subsystems, butdepends upon Anatomic Imagery

 Anatomic Imagery acupuncture utilizes bothmirror imagery and microsystems

Both are based upon Anatomical Tissue

Similarity

Prelude

Both are based upon Anatomical TissueSimilarity

We would all agree that the front and rear

distal quadruped leg and foot are much moresimilar than the human hand and foot

 Viewing the symmetry and tissue similarity,novel acupuncture point locations andcoupling automatically arise

Prelude

The leader of TCVM in China for more than30 years, and Dr. Xie’s mentor, Dr. KeijaZhang was an amazing inspiration

When I was “on the search” for all speciesLIV 3 after Are’s inspiration, I asked Dr.Zhang where he placed LIV 3 in the dog

Dr. Zhang laughed at me as if I was a foolishchild, then, with a grin, asked me where I

thought LIV 3 was on a horse!

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/imp-97-e-98-ler-otimo-0a0a0763-855f-05d8 9/110

Prelude

Dr. Zhang explained that EVERYTHING thatmakes LIV 3, Tai Chong, exist, is HUMAN andnot found in the same way in quadrupeds!

Thus, LIV 3 exists ONLY as a human point  Although we may still search for and use

clinically acupuncture points which resemblehuman points such as LIV 3

Conclusion?

Lighten up about point names and locations

Prelude

Finally, Dr. Jan Still inspired me with a fewsimple words about 6 years ago that havechanged my practice forever

Jan said that each day of clinical practice, forat least one patient, try using a protocol thatyou have not previously used

In other words, do miniature “experiments” or clinical case studies to expand your

treatment regimen

 AP reduces crying in infants with infantile colic:a randomised, controlled, blind clinical study

Landgren K, Kvorning N, Hallström I. Acupunct Med. 2010 Oct 1

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether AP reduces the duration and

intensity of crying in infants withcolic Patients and methods 90 otherwise

healthy infants, 2-8 weeks old, withinfantile colic were randomised in

this controlled blind study

 AP reduces crying in infants with infantile colic:a randomised, controlled, blind clinical study

81 completed a structured programmeconsisting of six visits during 3 weeks to an

 AP clinic in Sweden Parents blinded to the allocation of their

children met a blinded nurse The infant was subsequently given to another

nurse in a separate room, who handled all

infants similarly except that infants allocatedto receive AP were given minimal,standardised AP for 2 s in LI04

 AP reduces crying in infants with infantile colic:a randomised, controlled, blind clinical study

RESULTS: There was a difference (p=0.034)

favouring the AP group in the time which passedfrom inclusion until the infant no longer met thecriteria for colic

The duration of fussing was lower in the AP groupthe first (74 vs 129 min; p=0.029) and second week(71 vs 102 min; p=0.047) as well as the duration ofcolicky crying in the second intervention week (9 vs13 min; p=0.046) was lower in the AP group

The total duration of fussing, crying and colickycrying (TC) was lower in the AP group during the first(193 vs 225 min; p=0.025) and the secondintervention week (164 vs 188 min; p=0.016)

 AP reduces crying in infants with infantile colic:a randomised, controlled, blind clinical study

The relative difference from baseline throughout the

intervention weeks showed differences betweengroups for fussing in the first week (22 vs 6 min;p=0.028), for colicky crying in the second week (92vs 73 min; p=0.041) and for TC in the second week

(44 vs 29 min; p=0.024), demonstrating favourtowards the AP group

CONCLUSIONS: Minimal AP shortened the durationand reduced the intensity of crying in infants withcolic

Further research using different AP points, needletechniques and intervals between treatments isrequired

Richard Tan’s Balance Method

Biographical and publications information maybe found at www.drtanshow.com

Dr. Tan’s Balance Techniques are based upon

the I Ching (Ba Gau/Eight Trigrams and 64Hexagrams) and Taoism

I will omit his philosophical development ofthe Balance Method and focus on the clinicalapplications

 An Acupuncturist’s

 Acupuncture

There is an extensive history of variousacupuncture techniques usedthroughout the world

Most “modern” acupuncture taught inTCM and TCVM training programs is

 “herbal” acupuncture

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/imp-97-e-98-ler-otimo-0a0a0763-855f-05d8 20/110

 “Herbal” Acupuncture

In “herbal” acupuncture, both individualacupuncture points and pointcombinations are used as “herbal” 

singles and formulas For example

 Hou San Li , ST 36 is roughly equivalent toRen Shen , Panax ginseng

 Tai Xi , KI 3 is roughly equivalent to Shu Di 

Huang , Cooked Rehmannia

 “Herbal” Acupuncture

Further, the patient is usually diagnosedby a combination of 8 Principles Yin/Yang, Hot/Cold, Excess/Deficient,

Internal/External Fundamental Substances

Qi, Blood and Body Fluids

 And Zang-Fu Organ Kidney, Heart, Spleen, Stomach, etc.

 “Herbal” Acupuncture

Thus a dog with lethargy, loose stools,weak pulse, and pale, moist tonguemight be diagnosed with Spleen Qi Deficiency

 And treated with the herbal formula Si Jun Zi Tang , Four Gentlemen Decoction

 And acupunctured at such points as BL 20, BL 21, CV 12, and ST 36

 An Acupuncturist’s

 Acupuncture

 An “acupuncturist’s acupuncture” is focusedon adjusting the Qi in the Jing-Luo Channelsand Collaterals, commonly after making a

channel diagnosis Essentially the acupuncturist wants the

patient to “point” to the problem which is

then rectified by various acupuncture pointapplications based upon “Balance” andmicrosystems techniques

locations are intended to help you “getclose” to the actual point, which is thenfound by palpation

state of acupoints]. [Article in Chinese] Chen RX, Kang MF, Chen MR. Affiliated Hospital of Jiangxi College of TCM, Nanchang 330006, China. chenrixin123@yahoo.com.cn

To discuss the hypothesis of the sensitization state of acupoints based on the original definition and the

localization method of acupoint from Internal Classicas well as the clinical evidence of heat-sensitivemoxibustion

 Acupoints are different in the states, named restingand sensitization

The acupoints of sensitization state are the reactive

sites of disease on the body surface, also the bestsites for acupuncture and moxibustion treatment

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/imp-97-e-98-ler-otimo-0a0a0763-855f-05d8 39/110

Importance of Sensitive Points The acupoints are the specific sensitive sites on the body

surface relevant with diseases with the best therapeutic effects Hence, the acupoints of sensitization state are of dynamic

variability

In clinical application, only the two-step location method,preliminary and accurate localizations (sensitive probinglocalization) from Internal Classic can localize the acupointsprecisely, rather than one-step location method such as

proportional measurement or body surface landmarklocalization.

The nature and property of acupoints are different based on thefunctional state, not just on the fixed locations

When moxibustion is applied to a certain acupoint in

Importance of Sensitive Points Heat sensitive reaction during moxibustion

("heat sensitive moxibustion") is frequentlyseen in people undergoing pathological

conditions and correlates highly with thediseases

It characterizes in dynamic changes in the

location along with the state of the disordersand in being not always to coincide with thestandard meridian acupoint location

Importance of Sensitive Points The heat sensitive phenomenon of moxibustion is

one of the manifestations in theactivated functional activities of meridian of Chinesemedicine just like the arrival of the qi

caused by acupuncture stimulation It is also a sign of activation of the human

endogenous functional regulative system Therefore,

thinking highly of the heat sensitive reaction of moxibustion is the key point for raising the curativeeffect in clinical practice

Richard Tan’s Balance Method

Needles/Technique Needle until De Qi response is elicited

 De Qi sensation delivers a powerful signal

to the patient’s channel system This is very important in making the distal

point approach both efficacious and rapid

Sensation should be somewhere between “can’t feel it” and “let me out of here!”

Richard Tan’s Balance Method

Treatment Time and Frequency

Rapid improvement in pain, numbness andrange of motion

Needle retention should be 45 min-1 hr Re-treat before clinical signs fully reappear

This allows the clinician to “stay ahead” ofthe condition with continued and additivereduction in clinical signs

Especially useful on quadrupeds inimaged on the distal carpel/tarsal,

metacarpel/metatarsal and phalangealarea
