3-days clinical training with Whitfield Reaves OMD, LAc (USA), 
 

Acupuncture Treatment of Sports Injuries and Pain

 

Introduction
Three days of instruction on orthopedic and sports acupuncture. Common injuries and pain syndromes of the shoulder, low back and hip, and the lower extremity will be covered. This three day course will include lecture, demonstration, and supervised practice. Assistants will be present for additional supervision of location, palpation, and needle techniques.

This seminar by Whitfield Reaves is on the topic of Acupuncture Sports Medicine. And all the most important sports injuries and pain syndromes commonly seen the the acupuncture clinic. Whitfield will emphasize “anatomically significant points” of the musculoskeletal system. These points are used to treat injury and pain, as well as to harmonize the biomechanics and movement patterns of the body, and are the “access points” in orthopedic and sports medicine acupuncture. They include the traditional points of acupuncture, the extraordinary points, and some points or zones not elucidated in the texts, such as trigger points and motor points. Each of these points are located in anatomically significant tissues of the body, and therefore tend to have profound effects on both structure and function.

Whitfield will cover the precise locations of the important points of the neck and shoulder, the low back and hip, and the lower extremity. And, of course, he will present how to precisely needle them.


The course structure is as follows:

  • Day 1: The neck and shoulder
  • Day 2: The low back and hip
  • Day 3: The lower extremity

The material of this three-day workshop is the integration of traditional Chinese acupuncture withwestern orthopedic and sports medicine. With precise instruction and demonstration, each practitioner increases their knowledge and confidence in key anatomically significant points.
Having spent over three decades with Olympic and world-class athletes, Whitfield’s experience is invaluable for all those working in the field of pain, orthopedics, and sports medicine. As one of the founders of sports acupuncture in North America, Whitfield Reaves should not be missed!
