Our growing database of knowledge regarding anatomy, orthopedics, and electroacupuncture has expanded the possibility and potential for acupuncture efficacy. it is our duty to embrace this current knowledge to enhance the effects of acupuncture treatments that will better serve our patient population, as well as the profession as a whole. Orthopedic Electroacupuncture represents the marriage between anatomically significant points and electroacupuncture, and is an integral part of an evolutionary advancement in acupuncture techniques. With over 75,000 patient visits and 28 years working in a pain specialty hospital setting, and private practice, Rick Bernard has been perfecting the use of electroacupuncture for painful conditions. Two seminal discoveries are discussed which may shape the way acupuncture treatments are utilized for future generations. Rick concisely illustrates the framework on how to use electroacupuncture for eight commonly seen conditions. When combined with orthopedic principles, the ability to attain quick, and often dramatic results validates the need to integrate acupuncture in any pain management program. It may set a new standard for the reach and scope of what acupuncture can accomplish, and in doing so, increase its acceptance as an equal partner with the medical mainstream.
