It makes me smile thinking about all those years ago when the first patient told me as he treated with acupuncture:

"But Doctor ... she is having fun!"

Still bitter professionally, I remember not to have liked the joke and I have answered that I had other ways to have fun.

After almost 10 years to understand what such a statement may result, which still appears frequently.

Just yesterday a patient told me: "When you take the needles in the hand" sberlusigano "eyes."

In fact I really like my job and I assume you see clearly, needles and instruments Myofibrolysis are a continuation of my fingers and my precious and beloved weapons to fight the enemy number one: pain. They are as grateful to all teachers and teachers who have had or that the world was that this art could be up to me.

This love is seen and some mistake him for sadism, but in reality is called intensity is the same as when you try a sport or a hobby that we like. Hunting, for example, have you ever seen a hunter does not love the guns and dislike hunting? Here is the same thing, and the same applies to other passions such as skiing and sailing. I could turn my passion into my work and I must say that this is a great success because it reduces the load in absolutely incredible and the work related to the medical profession.

It 'also very interesting to see how over the years is the way I bite gradually become more sensitive and less aggressive. In particular, the return from the living room and master in China I learned to bite the Chinese. I prefer the big needles and long, direct needle stimulation, using dell'elettroagopuntura and even bleeding.

In China, elderly patients specifically asked doctors to feel the effect of the needle in a strong way. A popular saying this here too: it burns more the better! To a Chinese person to be bitten by a doctor blonde uncomfortable in a certain way and you had to prove that you knew handle needles with confidence and determination to be accepted.

We all now know that there is no need to burn a disinfectant to be active on germs and the same goes for needles. Again, we found that acupuncture is not true that the more the needle is thick or more is stimulated and more work, is a legend! Today, the industrial production of needles you have available and sterile disposable needles and especially more subtle.

Keep in mind that the needles that are used today by 10 to 20 times smaller than the common blood collection needles. Of course with these needles can not get a bleeding or exert a strong direct stimulation on the needle as it is not possible to apply the pads or pieces of moxa because the needles would not tolerate their weight.

It 'not possible to use ancient techniques of acupuncture where only the choice of a specific combination of points is the soul of treatment in the absence of any other instrument. It 'just a bag of needles and anything else. No smoke or smell of moxa that's left him for life, no blood, no wires or electrical shock. A job is simple, clean and refined

My teacher Dr Tan said, "to turn off a light bulb can break it with a rock or very elegantly switch off .... if you know where! "

The Japanese were the first to produce such thin needles and as always, to refine the work of the Chinese, but today they are mass produced and low cost in China where they are coming but with a little 'late. In fact they were to acupuncture a little 'rougher, obtained mainly from the recovery of the more superficial portion of their ancient tradition that the Chinese revolution was in danger of being lost completely.

Acupuncture more hidden but was saved through oral transmission from father to son as was once, and you would not believe, the best acupuncturists today are all Chinese and Korean residents in America.

I have nothing against the use of 'agomoxa, dell'elettroagopuntura and bleeding, I have practiced these techniques for many years but after learning how to turn off the lights with the switch I can not turn back! This ancient method of treatment that are being built, in addition to being much more aesthetically elegant permissible almost like a floral arrangement or a plate of sushi.

And if the pain involves the osteo-articular part tendinomuscolare or add Myofibrolysis technique and application of specific exercises and focused. As I stated at the conference in Bologna acupuncture instruments Myofibrolysis of metal traces in a surprising way, different forms of Guasha still used in oriental medicine popular but went out of use due to the strong inflammatory reaction of the skin.

The advantages of these new tools are primarily to allow the sterility and the ability to perform a precise and specific, capable of reaching the different tissues even deeper ones like the ads periostiali where tensions often nest further inland.

Also knowledge about the movement and mechanical laws of each muscle were examined in detail in the last century by many physiotherapists. From the generic "is not stationary but also moving the painful part," Today we can add in a precise manner, which is disclosed and what is not working and how to do it cheaper with the goal to stretch or extend a particular district rather than a tendinomuscolare more.

The massage, movement, diet and herbal medicine were always included in the medical arts oriental add knowledge on specific biochemical components or muscle rather than using safer instruments from the perspective of infertility but also the acceptance of the patient to be a good step in the right direction.

Or combine and integrate the ancient oriental medical knowledge with new acquisitions of Western medicine.

Using acupuncture does not mean being out of date on new discoveries in science, or even be masochists. Have you ever noticed that in movies where they show acupuncture treatments the patients leteralmente covered with needles or acupuncture is bound to a world of magic and the occult?

Acupuncture is not a faith and is not able to drag patients to the path of destruction as religious are convinced some evangelical Christians.

Acupuncture is an ancient technique of modern medicine, the application of which allows them to use a very non-invasive and absolutely safe and the effectiveness of which allows a much wider application than we think even on difficult cases and present a long time.
