Many times Dr. McClain starts by balance the body by needling or using acupressure on " master points " that are located in the legs and arms. This can be a good start to getting the body "organized" before treatment begins.
There are a couple Chiropractic Acupuncturists that Dr. McClain will refer to for what is called an Acu-Graph. This is a computerized test to read specific points in the body that are weak and need treatment. This can sometimes lead to less needle usage and more specificity in diagnosis. Those doctors then refer the patient back to Dr. McClain for treatment with the readout.
