Neuropunctureis the clinical manual of a groundbreaking acupuncture system that incorporates neuroscience into its clinical applications for pain management, orthopaedic conditions and internal medicine. It shows acupuncturists how to apply research into the neurophysiological mechanisms of acupuncture and electrical acupuncture to the traditional TCM model of healthcare. The book explains how acupuncture works using Western medical science and illustrates how to apply this knowledge to clinical cases with electrical acupuncture, creating evidence-based acupuncture protocols. These protocols are clinically proven and result in reproducible clinical outcomes.

'Michael Corradino breathes new life and effectiveness into healing patients with electroacupuncture. Neuropuncture is a deeply needed medical educational roadmap to skillfully bridge neuroscience research, classical acupuncture and hands on application of electroacupuncture. This book is a milestone in applying the profound science of electroacupunture, and Corradino has greatly served the medical community by creating this informative, extremely useful, and much sought guide.'

'As pharmaceutical companies are starting to spend big on "electroceutical" research, Dr. Corradino reminds us that much of this work has already been done. Building upon years of experience would be a wise move in that quest, and this book offers an all-important brick in the understanding of bioelectric medicine. Dr. Corradino provides real and clear teachings based in his own research and clinical practice to benefit both the Eastern and Western physician. Stay ahead of the game - read this book.'
