Medical Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been known for thousands of years. Most people think it was invented by the orientals. It might actually have been invented by the Greeks. And the famous "Bog Man" suggests that it was known to Europeans thousands of years ago. Seriously. Google his tattoos !
I first became interested in acupuncture back when the world was young, and I was learning to speak Chinese. ( Yeah, I am an Irishman who speaks Chinese.....get over it ! )
Dr. Chan Gunn used to give us lectures. He invented IMS ( Intermitent Muscle Stimulation ) . And as a nerdy premed student he got me interest in acupuncture.
Dr. Gunn was a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation, who was reknowned for his work with the Seattle Chronic Pain Clinic. He also ran a pain clinic in Vancouver for many years.

Since I was interested in chronic pain, and could speak Chinese, I got interested in acupuncture. I studied it in medical school. ( Those of you who believe acupuncture is not recognized by western medicine are sadly in error. Acupuncture has been recognized since by the Canadian Medical Association since 1957. So there ! )
