Overview:

The online course will discuss the use of non-local and distal acupuncture points for the treatment of frozen shoulder and shoulder pain in general.

In many cases distal acupuncture has benefits over local needling. With distal needling the beneficial results are often more immediate. For neuropathic conditions and acute inflammation distal needling is preferred as it is less likely to cause adverse needle reactions.

Additionally, non-local needling allows for local manual therapies to be performed while needles are retained.

While many PT’s are familiar with dry needling, which is essentially a form of local needling, they are less familiar with distal needling. The webinar will also present a myofascial model for understanding some of the mechanisms for distal needling. 

 

Course Objectives:

Upon completion of this workshop participants will be able to:

  1. Design systematic treatment strategies for various shoulder conditions.
  1. Articulate how distal needling can affect distant locations.
  1. Accurately assess how to choose from various point groups for shoulder disorders.
