Founded by Dr. Neal and several other colleagues and students in 2009, ISSCA serves as an educational community dedicated to scholarship, translation and preservation of classical acupuncture texts, and the sharing of information through clinical education and application. It is the sincere wish of ISSCA community members that through academic and clinical collaboration on such endeavors, the result becomes a weaving together in an elegant tapestry of our varying knowledge, experience and perspective related to the clinical art that is acupuncture. In this way, ISSCA’s goal is to implement these ancient ideas of acupuncture theory and practice into the modern world in such a way that it respects the paradigms of its creators.
