Acupuncture with Acupotomy: Volume 1: Acute Sprains and Upper Body Disorders

Revolutionize Your Clinical Practice with the Definitive Guide to Acupuncture, Acupotomy and Pharmacopuncture Whether you are a seasoned acupuncturist, a practitioner of Korean Medicine, or a medical student stepping into the clinical field, this comprehensive manual equips you with the exact diagnostic systems and procedural insights needed to resolve complex, whole-body lesions. Master the biomechanical essence of the human body and restore its natural order with Acupuncture with Acupotomy, the culmination of decades of clinical expertise by Dr. Hyun Mo Yang. He goes beyond merely teaching pain treatment techniques, providing a paradigm-shifting perspective on musculoskeletal pain and structural equilibrium. Inside This Essential Clinical Manual, You Will Discover: The Bio-Structural Cross-Equilibrium Model (BSCEM): Learn to view the human body as a tensegrity structure. Understand how vertical mechanical forces and horizontal symmetrical compensations intersect, allowing you to treat the root cause—such as resolving a left pelvic issue to cure right shoulder pain. P.U.S.H. & P.U.L.L. Diagnostic Theories: Unravel the tangled threads of pain by mastering the Proximal Unloading for Stress Harmony (P.U.S.H.) and Peripheral Unloading for Lowering Leverage (P.U.L.L.) models. Stop chasing localized symptoms and start releasing the true biomechanical bottlenecks. Synergistic Micro-Release Techniques: Discover the power of using acupotomy and pharmacopuncture concurrently. Master hydrodissection to soften fibrotic tissues, secure safe procedural pathways, and prevent re-adhesion while overcoming microcirculatory disturbances. Uncompromising Safety Protocols: Practice with absolute confidence. Learn critical safety measures, including the "pressure separation technique" and precise depth control, to achieve micro-incision and dissection with minimal stimulation and zero organ damage. Versatile Clinical Application: Not limited to specialized acupotomy tools, the core principles in this book can be successfully implemented using standard filiform needles, making it accessible and immediately applicable to your current practice. Published as a comprehensive two-volume set, this 10-part manual systematically divides the human body to optimize clinical application. Volume 1 (Parts 0–6) focuses on frequent acute sprains and upper body disorders, while Volume 2 (Parts 6–10) addresses lower body conditions alongside a deep analysis of headaches and extremity numbness through the lens of nerve entrapment and double crush syndrome. Designed for immediate practical use, Parts 2–9 are anatomically subdivided so practitioners can intuitively locate and resolve complex, multi-regional injuries the moment a patient complains of pain. From effectively treating acute sprains—the crucial starting point for identifying systemic disharmony—to resolving peripheral nerve entrapment and double crush syndrome, this manual provides a vast, deeply interconnected roadmap of the upper and lower body. Technology and AI may advance, but the biomechanical insight of the clinician remains irreplaceable. Equip yourself with the knowledge to trace the true origins of pain, build unshakeable trust with your patients, and make the acupotomy needle the most exquisite tool to project your clinical intent.
