MA, BAc, MBAcC. Practising Acupuncturist, Welwyn Garden City, UK.

A comprehensive and groundbreaking overview of electroacupuncture (EA) and other nontraditional approaches to acupuncture treatment
This new book presents a clear and accessible overview of the theoretical foundations of electroacupuncture, together with experimental and clinical evidence for the usefulness of electroacupuncture in its various forms. It also provides guidance on the effective clinical practice of electroacupuncture, illustrated with informative case histories. It serves as an excellent introduction to the subject, covering all the key information a beginning practitioner would need to know, as well as exploring avenues for advanced practice. The accompanying CD-ROM is an ideal research tool, providing expanded and fully searchable chapters from the book as well as an extensive database of more than 8,000 clinical studies that can be also accessed through a companion website.
