MODULE II (The Low Back, Hip and Groin) Assessment & Treatment of Injuries (ATI)

• The practitioner taking this live, in-person 4-day course will understand that injuries involving the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex must be observed as one complex and not separated in assessment or treatment. Balancing the relationship between the lumbar spine, the pelvis and the hip will not only help decrease pain in those regions but also affect most low back, hip and groin injuries.
• Many sport and work-related injuries will be discussed from assessment through treatment. We will examine the mechanical “how and why” injury occurs using postural examination, orthopedic physical examinations and manual muscle testing to assess the musculoskeletal system. Radiographs, MRI and ultrasound images will be presented and discussed.
• Referred pain is a common symptom that an acupuncturist will treat. The practitioner will learn to accurately differentiate radicular pain from referred pain and locate the fixed pain site that is causing the pain. With a correct diagnosis of the affected tissue, the practitioner can then accurately apply successful treatment protocols to the affected tissues and the channels and collaterals (jing luo jingjin) for long-lasting clinical results.
• Innovative treatment protocols will be introduced consisting of advanced needle techniques to the involved tissues.
• The experience of this workshop will refine the practitioner’s assessment and treatment skills, expand their knowledge of needle techniques, and greatly enhance the success rate in treating low back, hip and groin injuries.
