Peripheral neuropathy affects millions of people and there is no cure. Acupuncture is the best treatment there is for this condition and we have the research to prove it. Join this workshop and help us spread the good news!
Through his work with the Acupuncture Now Foundation, Matthew has been running a campaign to establish acupuncture as a recognised and effective treatment for those suffering from peripheral neuropathy. All those taking this workshop will be given the opportunity to opt-in to the Directory of Acupuncturists with specialised training in treating peripheral neuropathy, and promoted through this PN campaign.
The content covered during the peripheral neuropathy portion of the workshop on day 1 will include:
- Details of the four main types of PN including clarifying their somewhat confusing terminology.
- Of these which tend to be the more difficult to treat and why.
- How to explain the treatment procedure to patients and set their expectations including using the research I have put together exclusively for this class.
- The 10 needle lower extremity and 6 needle upper extremity point formula.
- You will also learn how select the correct needle gauge.
- How to stimulate each point for its therapeutic and diagnostic abilities.
- How to space treatments throughout the entire treatment process.
- We will cover a simple but important self-care practice you should teach your patients that will increase your success rates.
- You’ll also learn how to explain to patients when the treatment is working even before they feel any relief of their symptoms.
- We will also cover how to know when you have reached the maximum benefit of the treatment.
- How to end the treatment process so that the patient’s progress is as stable as possible.
- How to recognise and explain to patients when they need to return for tune-up treatments or a second series of booster treatments.
- Then, in addition to the needling protocol, we will also go over the points most frequently used in successful research trials – allowing you to practice following a true “Evidenced Based” manner.
- You will also learn about the campaign to educate the public, healthcare providers and health policymakers about acupuncture for peripheral neuropathy.
ABOUT MATTHEW BAUER
After studying Daoism with a 74th generation Daoist Master for 10 years, Matthew Bauer started his private practice in a small community in Southern California in 1986. Some of his first patients were older adults from nearby elder care facilities that were looking for relief from their difficult to manage conditions. Word spread in these facilities and this patient demographic soon became the majority, helping to build Matthew’s practice.
Matthew became involved with acupuncture professional organizations while holding a deep interest in educating the public about the benefits of acupuncture. He authored dozens of articles and two books including the popular practice building book: “Making Acupuncture Pay”.
In 2015, Matthew started the not-for-profit Acupuncture Now Foundation (ANF) to pursue educating the public. The ANF’s latest initiative is their campaign to educate the public, healthcare providers and health policymakers about acupuncture’s ability to treat peripheral neuropathy.
