Mastering the Treatment of Injury and Pain - Course 9

Course overview

This webinar series is for the serious practitioner of orthopedic and sports acupuncture. Course 9 describes treatment protocols for common injuries, with emphasis on diagnosis and assessment. Course 9 covers: (1) The Achilles. Precise treatment into predictable areas of stagnation is usually effective. Check for involvement of the achilles bursae. (2) The Lateral ankle. Acupuncture offers useful approaches to treating acute ankle sprain. Chronic cases target the talar sinus at GB 40. (3) The Plantar fascia. Treatment need not be painful when the right approaches are taken. Includes the abductor hallucis muscle. (4) Other foot injures. The big toe joint, metatarsal neuroma, and other foot injuries use similar local treatment.
