Understanding urology and applying acupuncture techniques to treat urinary disorders is of paramount importance. Urinary conditions can significantly affect a person’s quality of life and may be challenging to manage using conventional approaches alone.

Conventional treatment approaches may provide temporary relief\, but long-lasting and sustainable outcomes are elusive. Many patients experience recurring symptoms or find limited success with standard treatments. The difficulty in treating these conditions lies in their multifactorial nature\, involving physiological\, emotional\, and energetic components. Utilizing the right Acupuncture methodology\, and correct point formulations based on accurate diagnosis offers a unique perspective by addressing the root causes and imbalances underlying these disorders\, leading to more profound and lasting results. \nWho would benefit from learning this course? This course caters to practitioners at all levels\, including beginners\, intermediate\, and advanced acupuncturists. Beginners will gain a solid foundation in urology and learn how to apply Five Element Acupuncture principles to effectively treat urinary disorders. Intermediate practitioners will expand their diagnostic skills and treatment techniques\, enhancing their ability to address complex cases. Advanced practitioners will deepen their understanding of the interplay between emotional and physical health\, refining their ability to provide personalized and holistic care. \nWhat will participants learn?

The course will cover various techniques\, methodologies\, and diagnostic approaches specific to how to treat the course outline topics below. Participants will learn to identify underlying imbalances\, select appropriate acupuncture points\, and develop treatment plans tailored to individual patients along with dietetics suggestions to maintain treatment and not aggravate conditions. \n\n					Course Outline\n\nUrinary Tract Infections\nIncontinence\nCystitis\nKidney Stones\nKidney Failure\nHypertrophy of the Prostate Gland\nProstatitis\n—–ADD:\nNervous Bladder\nWeak Bladder\nStress Incontinence\nPrimary and Secondary Enuresis\nProblems with Urination in Early Prostatic Hypertrophy\nKidney Colic\nPyelo-nephritis\n\nJoin us in this transformative course where we delve into the intricate realm of urology\, harnessing correct and effective acupuncture techniques to provide holistic care for individuals suffering from urinary disorders.

Ding Jiwan (grandson of Ding Ganren of Wen Bing fame) taught this method to Dr. Shen in Shanghai and then Hong Kong during the turbulent years of 1937-1942. Dr. Shen as the sole survivor of World War 2 with knowledge of the pulse method\, fled the Communist Revolution in China for the USA. \n​Dr. Hammer\, a renowned practitioner\, first encountered Dr. Shen’s exceptional diagnostic skills in a Chinatown clinic in New York City during the early 1970s. This serendipitous meeting led to an eight-year apprenticeship for Dr. Hammer under Dr. Shen’s guidance\, and their collaboration spanned thirty years\, during which they recorded and refined the Menghe pulse method. \nThe Shen-Hammer Pulse method has evolved from Classical Chinese medicine theory. It recognizes that the range of energy transformations within a human body reflects the infinite combination of spatial and temporal energy possibilities in the macrocosm. The pulse carries information encoded within it\, representing the physiological exchanges specific to that individual organism. \nPalpating the radial artery allows us to decipher these exchanges and provides rich and extensive diagnostic information. The pulse describes the inherited life of a person\, their current state of being\, and can indicate possible health trajectories for the future. \nOnce the information encoded in the pulse is deciphered\, it guides the practitioner to skilfully implement management strategies. These strategies may include acupuncture\, Chinese herbs\, and lifestyle modifications to positively impact the physical and psycho-emotional potential of the clients.​ \nThe Shen-Hammer Pulse method is a refined and comprehensive approach to pulse diagnosis that draws upon ancient Chinese medicine theory. It allows practitioners to gain valuable insights into their clients’ health and guide them towards appropriate treatment strategies to enhance their well-being. \n  \n\n             \n\n\n\nAbout Dr. Karen Bilton (PhD)\nKaren started her career in healthcare as a physiotherapist. She has been practising acupuncture and Chinese medicine for 28 years and is licensed to practise in Australia and the USA. Having worked in the USA for 15 years she has been studying with Dr Leon Hammer\, MD since 1997. She completed doctoral studies evaluating the reliability of practitioners applying Shen-Hammer Pulse Diagnosis clinically. Karen is one of a handful of people who inherited this pulse method and model of developmental psychological model directly from Dr Hammer. \nShe is co-author of a Handbook of Contemporary Chinese Pulse Diagnosis; taught Shen-Hammer Pulse Diagnosis classes as well as presented at conferences in China\, USA\, Australia\, and New Zealand; and has published her work in peer review journals. Karen having lectured at respected institutions like Pacific College of Oriental Medicine\, New York City; the University of Technology\, Sydney; and the University of Western Sydney; is further testament to her academic excellence and contribution to Chinese medicine. \nCurrently she is in clinical practice in Sydney\, Australia\, and continues her exploration of acupuncture\, Chinese herbal medicine in relation to Daoist cosmology.  She endeavours to share her knowledge teaching classes in pulse diagnosis and the psychology of Dragon Rises\, Red Bird Flies. \n\n\n\n  \nDetails\n\nDates: Friday 15th September – Monday 18th September\, 2023\nTime: 8.30am – 5.30pm\nLocation: College of Complementary Medicine – Level 6/128-134 Chalmers Street\, Surry Hills\, NSW\, 2010\, Opposite Central Railway Station\nPricing:\n\nDeposit: $200* (incl.
