| | | | | chiropractors: Encyclopedia II - Traditional Chinese medicine - The relationship between TCM and Western medicine Within China, there has been a great deal of cooperation between TCM practitioners and Western medicine, especially in the field of ethnomedicine. Chinese herbal medicine includes many compounds which are unused by Western medicine, and there is great interest in those compounds as well as the theories which TCM practitioners use to determine which compound to prescribe.

| | | | | chiropractors: Encyclopedia II - Traditional Chinese medicine - TCM diagnostics The basics of TCM diagnostics are: observe (望 wàng), hear and smell (聞 wén), ask about background (問 wèn) and read the pulse (切 qiè). Then a diagnosis is made using a system to classify the symptoms.

| | | | | chiropractors: Encyclopedia II - Traditional Chinese medicine - TCM theory There are many schools of thought on which TCM is based. Because of this, the foundation principles of Chinese medicine are not necessarily uniform. Received TCM can be shown to be most influenced by Taoism, Buddhism, and Neo-Confucianism.
For over 3000 years (1200 BC - present), Chinese academics of various schools have focused on the observable natural laws of the universe and their implications for the practical characterisation of humanity's place in the universe. In the I Ching and other Chinese literary and philosophical classic ...

| | | | | chiropractors: Encyclopedia II - Traditional Chinese medicine - TCM and Animals As animal products are used in Chinese formulas, vegans and vegetarians should inform their practitioner, if their beliefs forbid the ingestion of animals. Often alternative substances can be used.
The use of endangered species is controversial within TCM. In particular, the belief that tiger penis and rhinoceros horn are aphrodisiacs has been blamed for depleting these species in the wild.
The animal rights movement notes that a few traditional Chinese medicinal solutions use bear bile. To extract maximum amounts of the bile, ...

| | | | | chiropractors: Encyclopedia II - Back pain - Underlying causes Frequently, pain will be triggered by strenuous lifting that is uncharacteristic - that is, that follows a previous period of inactivity.
Incidence of back pain in Western countries has increased in recent years. Most back pain is not caused by damaged intervertebral discs or any underlying physical cause. Instead, it is thought to be linked to a relatively inactive lifestyle, with people doing less exe ...

| | | | | chiropractors: Encyclopedia II - E-meter - Development of the E-meter The E-meter has undergone many changes since it was invented in the 1940s by Volney Mathison, an early collaborator with Hubbard. The Mathison Electropsychometer (as it was then called) was produced for use by psychotherapists and chiropractors. It was adopted for use by Hubbard in the early 1950s, apparently as a tool for research into his Dianetics, before being temporarily dropped in 1954. Hubbard explained why he abandoned its use:
Yesterday, we used an instrument called an E-Meter to register whether or not the process w ...

| | | | | chiropractors: Encyclopedia II - E-meter - Usage In use it is a galvanometer, quite similar to one of the measurements a lie detector makes. The person holds in his hands two tin can-like objects attached to the E-Meter, thereby completing an electrical circuit through which a small, low-voltage electrical current is passed. The needle of the meter shows the amount of current and is particularly sensitive to small changes in current. Such changes are caused by corresponding small changes the person has to electrical energy. This phenomenon is ...

(1) The joints (using High Velocity Technique, mobilization, etc.)
(2) Their surrounding soft tissues (using functional and soft tissue techniques, etc.)
