Course overview

Completions will be automatically reported to CE Broker instantly** This course helps acupuncturists build confidence in knowing when it's safe to needle (and when it's better to wait). Through real-world examples and clear clinical guidance, practitioners will learn how to recognize signs that a patient's skin or overall health may not be ready for treatment, such as unexpected redness, swelling, or slow healing after needling. The course also covers common skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and fungal rashes that may look concerning but aren't necessarily a reason to stop treatment.
