The majority of the Acupuncture articles were written by Dr Simon Strauss who was sponsored by the W.H.O to attend the first course on Acupuncture for Western medical practitioners held in China (1978). Dr Strauss has now retired from medical practice having established Australia's first private multi-disciplinary pain clinic. Most of the clinical material published herein was gathered and collated from studies carried out on the 10,000 patients who attended for the management of their chronic (mostly) benign pain syndromes. The majority of the Myofascial Pain articles were written by our visiting lecturers.
