Snail Mail Success
In today's marketing world, we tend to focus on online: Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yelp, email, and more. But it's important not to forget that old school marketing tactics can still have a big impact on your business.

Illuminating the Hidden, Freeing the Source
Amongst the Primary Channels, from a classical point of view, the small intestine is perhaps the most important channel to understand. It is one of the least used acupuncture channels in modern acupuncture, yet it within it can be found a wealth of theories from the Ling Shu.
What's New in the NCCIH Strategic Plan
The NIH National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) released its draft strategic plan 2016-2021 for public comment in early spring of 2016.

Simple Business Strategies
If you are a business owner, no doubt you are always looking for ways to maximize your income and please and delight your clients. It might be surprising to learn that making improvements can cost little to no money, save you time and effort and allow you to do what you love most - helping others.
Pack Your Bags and Open Your Mind
Prior to beginning their practice, or treating clients professionally, massage therapists should first receive a sound therapeutic background and education. However, many professionals begin their practice and do not keep up with their education.

Key to Rehab Back Pain
It is universally acknowledged that there is a spiral twist in the body that goes from head to foot, and therefore, it is considered normal. I call it the core distortion, and have discovered that when it is reduced, painful symptoms begin to disappear.

Adventures with the Pericardium
My previous column on the San Jiao deserves equal time for SJ's loving partner, the pericardium. I nicknamed SJ the travel meridian – but pericardium can also play a crucial role in air travel.
What are the Meridians?
The meridian and collateral system (jing luo, hereinafter referred to as "Meridians") is comprised of the main meridian channels (jing mai) and the collateral vessels (luo mai). Jing takes from meaning of the Chinese word pathway (also jing) and are the main branches of the system.
The Pain of Undercharging
Are you charging what your therapy is worth? Or are you settling for fees that reflect your insecurities instead? That's an important distinction, because how you do money is how you do everything. If your rates are too low, they're compromising more than the health of your practice.

Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine in Taiwan Hospitals
This spring, a team of Western medical doctors and TCM practitioners from Cleveland Clinic traveled to Taiwan to visit Kaiser Pharmaceutical Co. (KP), and China Medical University (CMU), Taiwan's leading integrative medicine hospital.

International Congress on Integrative Medicine
"Bridging Research, Clinical Care, Education and Policy" was the theme for the International Congress on Integrative Medicine and Health 2016 (ICIMH).

Triceps Injuries
We're now going to turn to two larger, better-known muscle-tendon units, the biceps and the triceps. Like the biceps, the triceps each crosses two joints: the elbow and the shoulder. Most triceps injuries happen near the elbow.
A Study of Relationships
Sa-Ahm's five element acupuncture method is known to be one of the most effective acupuncture techniques in Korea because it gives an instant response at the time of treatment and has a high success rate in resolving chronic problems.
Autoimmune Simplified
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) lists more than 80 common autoimmune diseases including asthma, Crohn's disease, Guillain-Barré syndrome, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus.

Lessons from Functional Neurology
Chiropractic neurology, also known as clinical neuroscience or functional neurology, is moving the chiropractic profession forward by leaps and bounds.

Massage Effective for Cancer Pain Relief
Complementary therapies are commonly used by cancer patients for physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits. Among these therapies, massage is often provided for relief of cancer-related symptoms and treatment, most notably the pain.

Less Time Than Required
Q: When is it appropriate to use a modifier -52? Can I use it for a timed service when I do less than the time required by the code?
Analyzing Acupuncture Case Studies
Confirm the answer quickly by the elimination method. Take this case study as an example. After two treatments for back pain, a patient presents for a third session complaining of rapid breathing and wheezing that is made worse during cold weather.

Considerations When Working With Seniors
On January 1, 2011, the first baby boomers turned 65. Every day since then, and for the next 18 years, 10,000 people will turn 65 according to the U.S. Census. This will lead to all of us seeing more geriatric clients.

Two Sides to Every Story
As massage therapists, how we develop our thoughts for therapy makes the difference of a general massage and a clinical massage. This case study is on sciatic nerve entrapment pain left over from a shoulder surgery.
