A Manual of Acupuncture 2025 5.0

The latest version of this mobile application offers an informed and comprehensive resource for both students and practitioners of acupuncture. As an extension of the authoritative textbook, A Manual of Acupuncture by Peter Deadman, Mazin Al-Khafaji, Kevin Baker, and Tom Kennedy, this app seeks to provide a highly accessible digital platform for detailed study and clinical reference.

Designed for iPhone and iPad devices, the app incorporates several features designed to enhance user experience, including improved synchronization with the associated website, advanced search capabilities, and multilingual support in English, German, and Spanish. Users can access extensive content covering all channel points and extraordinary points from the manual, with detailed commentary sections and comprehensive visual aids.

Each point entry includes Chinese tonal information, characters, calligraphy, pronunciation audio, as well as videos demonstrating location and needling techniques. The app also offers detailed pathway illustrations for primary channels, surface anatomy visuals, and diagrams for major point categories such as five shu points and sinew channels.

Functionalities to support learning include customizable point groups, self-testing modules for points and categories, live links for straightforward referencing, note-taking capabilities, and a sophisticated search feature that allows filtering by channel or specific attributes like actions or indications. Additional reference materials such as indexes, glossaries, measurement guidelines, and anatomical region descriptions further support clinical practice and study.

Subscription-based access is required for full functionality, with options priced at $2.99 per month or $29.99 annually. A seven-day free trial is available upon sign-up. Existing users of previous versions should be able to migrate without additional charges; support is available should any issues arise. During the trial period, users may also access select content from the Lung channel and sample materials from other sections.

It should be noted that subscription renewals are automatic unless canceled prior to the end of the current billing cycle. Users agree to the terms of use outlined at https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula/ by engaging with the app.
