Welcome Home. Who is your Acupuncture Physician?
David A. Nevins MS, OM, A.P., C.H. Diplomat NCCAOM. National board certification in Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Therapy through the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine NCCAOM and licensed by the State of Florida. I studied Acupuncture, Oriental medicine, Chinese herbal medicine, Chinese movement and massage, lifestyle, dietary therapy, & homotoxicology/homeopathy with masters of Oriental and Western medicine from the United States, Europe, China, and Japan at the Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine ATOM in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
New treatment method: Physiological Regulating Medicine
I am currently offering Biopuncture/Acupoint Injection Therapy (APIT). Biopuncture is a specialized therapy whereby specific locations are injected with biological products. Most of these injections are given under the skin or into the muscles for:
- The relief from pain
- Strengthening the immune system
- To enhance the action of the selected acupuncture therapy points
- detoxification of the body
- Provide the stimulus for the body to begin the healing process toward optimal health.
The use of biotherapeutic injections can benefit those patients who have tried conventional medicine but have had no success, or for those who have had to stop taking conventional medication because of side effects. Many people still believe that one has to stop conventional treatments when choosing natural medicine. This is not true. This is integrated medicine.

One of the advantages of acupuncture is that the incidence of adverse effects is substantially lower than that of many drugs or other accepted medical procedures used for the same conditions.
As an example, musculoskeletal conditions, such as fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, and tennis elbow, or epicondylitis, are conditions for which acupuncture may be beneficial.
These painful conditions are often treated with, among other things, anti-inflammatory medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.) or with steroid injections. Both medical interventions have a potential for deleterious side effects but are still widely used and are considered acceptable treatments. The evidence supporting these therapies is no better than that for acupuncture.
In addition, ample clinical experience, supported by some research data, suggests that acupuncture may be a reasonable option for a number of clinical conditions. Examples are postoperative pain and myofascial and low back pain.

Meeting Marks 10th Anniversary of NIH Acupuncture Conference
Just over 10 years ago, an NIH Consensus Development Conference assessed acupuncture's effectiveness in treating various diseases and conditions. What has happened in the field of acupuncture research since that conference and its later report (called a consensus statement)? What areas will be important in future research?
