Advanced Tung Style Acupuncture Volume 8: Orthopedics

Volume 8 of the Advanced Tung Style Acupuncture Series is solely concerned with the application of Master Tung's Acupuncture in the treatment of orthopedic disorders. It is entitled Advanced Tung Style Acupuncture because it, like the previous volumes in the series, implies that the user already has a foundation in Master Tung's Acupuncture (e.g., has taken a course such as that presented by Drs. Wei-Chieh Young, Min-Chuan Wang, Palden Carson, Robert Chu, Esther Su, Richard Tan, Miriam Lee, Susan Johnson, etc.). This text is not intended for use by the novice, but rather as a reference by those who already have a working knowledge of Master Tung's Acupuncture. Volume 8 contains over 630 pages of text and presents over 980 prescriptions culled from the Tung Acupuncture literature in the Chinese language from the translator's personal library - more than 15 different sources were referenced (several currently out of print). The author has compiled, collated, and translated all of the orthopedic prescriptions proffered by the Chinese sources noted above and applied accompanying diagrams for each clinical entity to facilitate their application. Included are: author-specific point locations, needling instructions, contraindications and, when available, clinical comments, lifestyle modifications, etc. all derived from the Chinese sources' own personal clinical experiences with Master Tung's Acupuncture. The 5 major chapters presented in Volume 8 are as follows: Chapter 1 covers disorders of the Head; Chapter 2 covers disorders of the Vertebral Column; Chapter 3 covers disorders of the Upper Extremity; Chapter 4 covers disorders of the Lower Extremity; and Chapter 5 covers miscellaneous orthopedic disorders. To reiterate, Volume 8 is entitled "Advanced Tung Style Acupuncture" because it, like the previous volumes, implies that the user already has a basic understanding of, and facility with, Master Tung's Acupuncture.
