Trigger Point Acupuncture Theory and Practice

Course overview

Myofascial trigger point release is an acupuncture technique that is not widely taught in acupuncture colleges. What is often called "dry needling" is acupuncture removed from the whole-person paradigm of Chinese medicine healing. Physical therapists and chiropractors are taking over the field with minimal training and no education in Chinese medicine. This course features a solid introduction to the history, theory, science, and techniques of trigger point release using acupuncture. This course provides the didactic knowledge required for direct enrollment in Levels 2 and 3 of our in-person clinical Fundamentals seminars for in-depth skills training in needling all regions of the body.
