Primary area of expertise
East Asian and Integrative Medicine
Session
Demystifying Qi Without Devaluing It
This session explores what East Asian Medicine actually means by Qi, and how modern acupuncture research can help explain classical concepts without reducing them to simplistic ideas like "energy." Dr. Ingegno connects traditional ideas of flow and regulation with research into mechanisms including autonomic nervous system regulation, endocannabinoid signaling, adenosine, endorphins, fascia, and point specificity.
Attendees will gain a practical understanding of why acupuncture is worth considering, not only when something hurts, but as part of a broader approach to maintaining health and function over time, and will become more informed consumers of integrative care.
