Over the years patients have questioned how I can determine which acupuncture meridians, and points needed to be worked on. For me it's easy to determine through reading basic pulses, abdominal reflexes, physical signs and symptoms, stretch testing and muscle testing. Patients have told me they love to feel the abdominal reflexes themselves, or see the changes in muscle testing, but for some even this was difficult to tell. So, I decided to employ another Japanese Acupuncture system. I have been trained in the use of Ryodoraku, or "Electro Meridian Imaging", and have recently purchased this system for our office. Dr.Yoshio Nakatani M.D., Ph.D developed a method of examining the meridian system of the body thru electronic measurements which altered the way acupuncture would be practiced throughout Japan, Europe, Australia and North America. The electronic evaluation of the meridian system is done by measuring skin conductance at the Yuan (Source) points of the wrists and ankles. Electronic measurements are ascertained by examining the bilateral 24 specific Yuan points of the wrist and ankles for only three seconds per point. When one finds an elevated or deficient meridian in Ryodoraku, the treatment approach is to balance in the meridians using specific acupuncture points to tonifiy or sedate the energy in a meridian. This electronic method of evaluation is reliable, duplicable, easy to learn and employ, as well as being extremely simple to explain to the patient. It is literally changing the way acupuncture is being used both diagnostically and therapeutically internationally. Many people find they are more confident in this electronic style of examination than ancient pulse diagnosis. It allows the patient to take home a printed copy of their graphic interpretation as well as diagnostic criteria. In addition, a copy of involved meridians may be printed or specific points the patient may use at home to accelerate clinical response. --> Back to Archived Wellness Newsletter Call us at (303)322-5015 to schedule your appointment.
