New American Acupuncture

This book represents the fruit of many years of research into the use of acupuncture as a tool for releasing holding patterns in the body mind as a way to restore functional/structural balance and to relieve chronic pain. Dr. Seem shares his clinical experience of how and why this style of acupuncture works and presents specific protocols for use in the clinic. This book is a valuable reference text for anyone whose practice focuses mainly on acupuncture.
