Our event is designed to explore the mechanisms and applications of acupuncture from diverse perspectives. As well\, we will examine current scientific research in the field of acupuncture\, and enjoy the art as well as the science with an opportunity to explore classical medical calligraphy. This meeting addresses topics specifically suggested by practitioners\, and expands on many different approaches for addressing practical clinical problems. An emphasis on evidence-based\, scientific research is integrated with classical and modern protocols for the serious clinician. Surveys and evaluations from previous symposia have indicated that there is a strong desire for information about acupuncture techniques that honor the rich history of Asian medicine\, while applying them to contemporary Western medical practice. \nWHO SHOULD ATTEND? The Symposium is designed for instruction and training of health care professionals interested in\, or already practicing\, acupuncture. Medical practitioners with no experience as well as those with extensive backgrounds in acupuncture will find the sessions useful to their medical practices.

The systems are rooted in the concept of healing the body by balancing channels. Students will learn the history of the Balance Method/System\, the basis of the systems\, and the logical processes for determining the meridians to acupuncture\, including an easy-to-use format to outline the treatment plan. A detailed explanation of the Mirroring and Imaging Formats will also be explained to assist participants in effective point selection. Dr. Tan will show how to use distal points in order to avoid aggravating the area of discomfort and will include demonstrations. Particular attention will be paid to musculo-skeletal conditions in this introductory level. \nLearning Objectives\nAt the end of this workshop\, attendees will be able to: \n\nContextualize the Balance Method/System within the history of the acupuncture field.\nOutline the development of two or three of the six systems/strategies.\nIdentify the name and numbers of two or three of the six systems/strategies and describe how each\nbalances a meridian.\nApply a mirror and imaging concept to choose the acupuncture points on the body.\nLocate specific acupuncture points within the Balance System.\nOutline and follow the steps used in the Balance System to diagnose and treat health conditions.\nDiagnose which meridians are sick and apply a treatment plan.
