This is what they have to say: This course is not only about learning how to do acupuncture, though you definitely do; the emphasis is on learning to assess and treat the nervous system with your hands. Dr. Elorriaga masterfully demonstrates time and again that “pain is in the brain,” but can be accessed and influenced through the peripheral nervous system. By using electro-acupuncture along nerve paths rather than traditional meridians, you can “talk” to nerves in their language and achieve un-believable results. This may be the answer to all those elusive patients whom you have been unable to help in the past. If you are a manual practitioner, you MUST take this course! Larissa M. Juren, DC Contemporary Acupuncture is the course that brings all the basic sci-ences and professional training into clinical practice in a way that makes sense and produces results. For anyone wanting to move for-ward in medical and manual therapy practice this course is the one that will bring you at the forefront of modern medicine and manual therapy. Chris Michailidis, DC This course represents the potential of what health care in this coun-try should aspire to. An integrated, multidisciplinary, co-operative effort focused on the needs of the patient and their well-being. Thank you for creating this opportunity.
