Ancient acupuncture with modern tools.
What’s the most important clinical procedure you were NOT taught in school? I’ll give you a hint. It’s not even something you normally think of as a “clinical procedure.” And yet it may have a greater influence on your results and ultimately on your practice than any other procedure you perform. Do you know yet? It’s the ROF. That’s Report of Findings, in case you didn’t know–though I certainly hope you do know–because the ROF... Read more

Hello Everyone, Just taking a quick break from the rush of AcuGraph 4 upgrades to post a tip. I often get asked about graphing children and infants. People want to know if it’s appropriate to do so, and the answer is YES. I originally was introduced to Ryodoraku acupuncture years ago when I took my newborn daughter to the acupuncturist because she wasn’t sleeping very well at night. The acupuncturist used an old manual Ryodoraku... Read more

Here’s a tip: Don’t graph your patient if their hands have spent the last few minutes in water. Allow me to illustrate. The other day I decided to graph my wife at home. We had just finished cleaning the kitchen and doing dishes, so her hands had been continually wet for about 15 minutes. Take a look at her graph: Note that all... Read more
