The Treatment of Stiff Neck and Levator Scapulae

Course overview

The levator is the cause of neck and shoulder pain for many patients, and is often overlooked by the acupuncture practitioner. While levator dysfunction might not be the entire cause of pain, the simple techniques covered in this webinar benefit many patients. Levator dysfunction is often a component of treatment to other injuries, such as strain to the supraspinatous and infraspinatous and other dysfunctions of the shoulder. There will also be a short introduction to the Four-Step Approach used in the treatment of sports injuries. Then, the anatomy of the levator scapulae will be covered. Finally, precise treatment techniques at the site of injury and the most effective acupuncture points will be covered.
