Healthcare issues today encompass a wide range of increasing concerns: availability, affordability, effective and safe procedures, the needs of children, and quality of life. Organizations, individuals, and the government are all seeking ways to solve the healthcare crisis. In Healthcare Solutions with Acupuncture, author and doctor of oriental medicine Gary Fleischman presents one possible solution in the form of acupuncture-a procedure involving the minimally invasive use of needles. For thousands of years, the Chinese have employed acupuncture applications to remedy health problems. Fleischman maintains these same procedures can be used to treat minor and major illnesses and could result in a tremendous reduction in healthcare costs in the United States. Healthcare Solutions with Acupuncture compares Chinese and Western medicine and reviews conditions and treatment options that can be used to successfully heal everything from abscesses to weight gain. "Healthcare Solutions with Acupuncture" provides easy-to-understand classifications of sicknesses, techniques of needling, and the healing process. A full practice of medicine that evaluates disease and treats the sick based on thousands of years of advancements, acupuncture methods offer effective therapies while containing costs. | Healthcare Solutions with Acupuncture by Gary F Fleischman OMD, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
