Acupuncture for Emergency

Acupuncture becomes more popular in Western countries recently. This book especially tells about the application of acupuncture in medical emergency conditions, which refers to any condition that makes people rush to Emergency department for medical help. Such condition can be a stroke, heavy bleeding, trauma, but can also be a common cold with fever, or acute onset of a chronic asthma. The information in this handbook is useful for those people who work as doctors in hospital emergency departments or clinics, as physiotherapists, chiropractors, lifeguards at swimming pools or beaches, firemen, outdoor travelers, military soldiers, or any other person who may have chance to meet emergent health crisis. It is useful even for an acupuncturist who gets acupuncture education in the Western countries, because many of the techniques introduced in this handbook are much beyond the contents of acupuncture textbooks.
