Chiropractic neurology, also known as clinical neuroscience or functional neurology, is moving the chiropractic profession forward by leaps and bounds.

The meridian and collateral system (jing luo, hereinafter referred to as "Meridians") is comprised of the main meridian channels (jing mai) and the collateral vessels (luo mai). Jing takes from meaning of the Chinese word pathway (also jing) and are the main branches of the system.
Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine in Taiwan Hospitals

Autoimmune Simplified
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) lists more than 80 common autoimmune diseases including asthma, Crohn's disease, Guillain-Barré syndrome, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus.

International Congress on Integrative Medicine
"Bridging Research, Clinical Care, Education and Policy" was the theme for the International Congress on Integrative Medicine and Health 2016 (ICIMH).

Triceps Injuries
We're now going to turn to two larger, better-known muscle-tendon units, the biceps and the triceps. Like the biceps, the triceps each crosses two joints: the elbow and the shoulder. Most triceps injuries happen near the elbow.
Analyzing Acupuncture Case Studies
Confirm the answer quickly by the elimination method. Take this case study as an example. After two treatments for back pain, a patient presents for a third session complaining of rapid breathing and wheezing that is made worse during cold weather.

What's New in the NCCIH Strategic Plan
The NIH National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) released its draft strategic plan 2016-2021 for public comment in early spring of 2016.

Adventures with the Pericardium

Sa-Ahm's five element acupuncture method is known to be one of the most effective acupuncture techniques in Korea because it gives an instant response at the time of treatment and has a high success rate in resolving chronic problems.
The Pain of Undercharging
Are you charging what your therapy is worth? Or are you settling for fees that reflect your insecurities instead? That's an important distinction, because how you do money is how you do everything. If your rates are too low, they're compromising more than the health of your practice.

Considerations When Working With Seniors
On January 1, 2011, the first baby boomers turned 65. Every day since then, and for the next 18 years, 10,000 people will turn 65 according to the U.S. Census. This will lead to all of us seeing more geriatric clients.
