This concise pocket-sized acupuncture guide is what professionals have
been asking for! It is the first pocket atlas to cover all the major
body and ear acupuncture points, including extensive coverage of the
trigger points. Detailed descriptions of the localization, needling
depth, indications, and functions of each point are provided. The
different schools of ear acupuncture (e.g., Chinese vs. Nogier), often a
source of confusion for practitioners, are presented side by side,
usually in full-page illustrations, enhancing this book's usefulness as
a daily reference guide.
The presentation of three acupuncture therapy systems follows a clear
didactic concept: All points are shown in text and image, and the
localization of the points is aided by means of anatomic drawings and
photographs.
Coming from diverse specialties, the authors provide you with the most
complete, useful, and accurate information available. Acupuncture points
are described using the "visual-didactic processing system," which is
rapidly gaining praise and recognition for its easy-to-use format. The
clearly written text is augmented by high-quality color images.
Hecker's Pocket Atlas of Acupuncture and Trigger Points is ideal as a
quick reference in your daily practice or as an exam preparation guide.
This wealth of information makes it invaluable to experienced
practitioners and to novices alike.
