Nerve Entrapment Syndromes - Neck and Arm Pain
Inleiding/Introduction
Neck and Arm Pain
Jingbu Shoubi Tong
Referred pain is a common patient symptom and one of the most challenging aspects of a practitioner’s work is to accurately determine if the referred pain is radicular or if the paresthesia is from another source. In this workshop, we will assess and treat nerve entrapment syndromes that include spinal disc degeneration and soft tissue indurations that compress against nerve tissue creating varying degrees of paresthesia. This workshop emphasizes on neuromuscular assessment and palpation techniques in addition to a strong focus on needle techniques and Huatuojiaji, motor and acupuncture point protocols along the myofascial sinew channels for effective and successful results.
Inhoud/Content

- assessment and treatment of myofascial and pelvic imbalances that are typically found in cases of sciatica and referred pain.
