Dr. Freddie Fu’s experience with acupuncture
• Dr. Freddie Fu, chairman of the orthopedic surgery department and head of sports medicine at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
• Fu said acupuncture helped improve the range of motion in his left leg, which was broken when a motorist hit him on his bicycle.
• “We see tons of patients for therapy and non-operative things that Western techniques may not be able to treat," said Fu. “ I think definitely there's a place for acupuncture. Surgery is not for everyone and a lot of people don't like taking pills for pain or allergies. With acupuncture, patients induce their bodies' systems and defenses to heal themselves."

How Does Acupuncture Work?
• The physiologic effects of acupuncture therapy cannot be explained by a single mechanism, but rather a series of interactions among the
Nervous, Endocrine & Immune System
• Simple in concept, complex in action
• Starts from Local Effects
• Expands to involve the entire Neural Axis
![Page 28: Acupuncture Therapy 1 Dr. Sinan Butrus F.I.C.M.S Kurdistan Board for Medical Specialties Clinical Standards & Guidelines](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649f125503460f94c26523/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM Physiology
• Stomach separates pure from impure Qi of food
– Impure to Small Intestine (process repeats again)
– Pure Qi to Spleen
• Spleen sends Food Qi to Lung
Lung combines it with pure Qi extracted from air
Food/Air Qi “heated” by Qi provided by Kidney to make “Nutritive Qi” The Life Force
In Heart to blood & tissue fluid to make Health
