Dr. Ma's Book

Biomedical Acupuncture for Pain Management, Integrative Approach, Elsevier, 2005

,Yun-tao Ma,Mila Ma,Z..Cho

The authors of this book have developed a treatment protocol which they term the Integrative Neuromuscular Acupoint System, a synthesis of biomedicine and traditional acupuncture while retaining the emphasis on whole-person therapy and "promoting health while treating the disease," cornerstones of TCM.

"This is the most important book written to modernize acupuncture in the 21st century.  Dr. Yun-tao Ma brings this field to the next level by incorporating dry needling into acupuncture.  I believe dry needling is a modality necessary for any acupuncturist who wants to successfully practice in the modern word"

"This book is another major step towards integrated medicine. The author has left behind the ties of traditional concepts; his thinking, as well as his practice, is based on today's scientific knowledge of human biology, health and disease, combined with his own 40 years of experience.  This makes his approach neither Asian nor Western, but universal. The world of modern acupuncture, dry needling, pain management, sports and trauma rehabilitation is heavily indebted to Yun-tao Ma.
