Treat Musculoskeletal Pain
Confidently with Acupuncture
Musculoskeletal pain is overwhelmingly the number one condition most patients present with in clinic. This 4-part series of recorded workshops are specifically tailored for acupuncturists to get the most effective results for their patients.
All the common and some not so common pain presentations of the lower back, thoracic, ribcage, lower limb, neck, head, shoulder and upper limb will be discussed from both Chinese medicine and anatomy based perspectives.
The relevant anatomy and diagnostic procedures, including physical examination, will be presented. Specific needle techniques will be demonstrated and treatment strategies detailed.
