Great video explaining the dynamic of connective tissue. Dr Langevin is a pioneer in the study of the mechanical properties of connective tissue. Looking forward to part 2.

Episode 1: We had the opportunity to interview Dr. Helene Langevin, Director of the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Brigham ...and Women's Hospital. HMS Osher Center for Integrative Medicine
We learned more about her research on the cellular and molecular mechanisms that occur when an Acupuncture needle is placed, and how conventional and alternative medicine can benefit from this research. Stay tuned for 2 more episodes this week!

Dr. Helene Langevin was appointed as Director of the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital in November 2012. Through translational research, the Osher Center aims to test and implement integrated patient care, positioning itself as a thought leader in forging medical connections at the physiological, clinical, and community levels. In order to fulfill this mission, the Osher Center’s strategic vision is to build a “center without walls.” This consists of a network of integrative medicine research, education and patient care throughout HMS, with ties to the Osher Centers at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, Northwestern University, and Vanderbilt University.

You know that acupuncture is excellent for treating pain. Now you can back it up.
We are excited to announce the release of Acupuncture for Pain, a fully refere...nced clinical summary that gives an overview of this clinical area. We hope you'll find this to be a valuable resource for communicating with your patients as well as other medical colleagues and healthcare decision makers.
We look forward to publishing evidence summaries of more specific clinical areas (including specific pain-related conditions) in the coming months. For now, this constitutes an overview which we hope will be a valuable resource for you.

"…it’s tantalising evidence that while placebo acupuncture eases short-term symptoms by triggering pain-relieving endorphins, the real thing might actually help to reverse the underlying pathology of a disease."

You and other healthcare professionals should talk about the topic of Dry Needling, its impact on the Acupuncture profession, and what true healthcare collabora...tion means.
We interviewed Jason Sargis, President of NJ Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine to learn more about the topic
Recently, the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine released a statement, sharing how "some physical therapists and other healthcare providers have claimed that “dry needling” is “new” and “not acupuncture”, because the point locations and needling style are based on anatomical structures and physiological function rather than on traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture theory.
In fact, licensed acupuncturists receive training in the application of both traditional foundations of acupuncture and modern biomedical theories, and have done so since long before the term “dry needling” was invented".
Because Dry Needling is an advanced and invasive procedure, we should continue to discuss the regulations around dry needling courses, requirements and training.
We hope this interview encourages more conversation around safe and effective quality healthcare and corrects any misrepresentation of Acupuncture. We also hope it motivates healthcare professionals to collaborate and continue practicing as experts in their respective fields.

Acupuncture is better than Botox for chronic migraines.
A new study comparing acupuncture, Botox and valproate for treating migraines has found that acupuncture was superior at reducing pain, absenteeism and the need for meds compared to the other two treatments.

Acupuncture treatment continues to treat pain even after you leave the office.
While acupuncture enjoys a tremendous amount of clinical and basic science research for pain, what's excellent about this review is that it's the first to show ...based on thousands of patients that acupuncture's effects persist a year after treatment has ended. Amazing stuff!
Not only does that suggest that acupuncture is healing the cause of the pain and not just providing temporary relief, but it means that it's much more cost-effective than originally appreciated.
"Acupuncture can help combat period pain in sufferers, as well as relieve associated headaches and nausea, a study by Australian and New Zealand researchers has found."

"Using acupuncture in conjunction with standard pharmacological treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee, for instance, is a form of complementary medicine that has been proven to be more effective than the conventional treatment alone."
