Helene Langevin, M.D. serves as director, National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. She has devoted her career to studying the benefits of various physical therapies, such as acupuncture, massage, yoga and stretching, to promote overall wellness and help improve quality of life for people coping with chronic pain.

Powerful Communication Tools for Successful Acupuncture Practice, by Alyssa Dazet

"Perhaps the most important part of this script for building and sustaining a successful practice is teaching your patients that everyone should come in at least once per month for ‘tune up’ treatments. Not only does this keep your schedule full, it keeps your patients healthy. Preventative medicine is an important aspect of our medicine. Remember: you are not being a pushy salesperson, and you are not selling your patient something of little use. You are a doctor of East-Asian medicine whose entire ideology of health focuses preventing illness and maintaining balance in the body. By using this script you are guiding your patients to follow a treatment plan that you, as their doctor, know will keep them at an optimal level of health and wellness. We should not wait until something goes wrong, but instead proactively keep our patients healthy. "

Meridians or the pathways in the human body is known as qi. As per the acupuncture there are 350 acupuncture point locations in the human body.
