Course Overview
Inversion ankle sprain is characterized by pain, swelling, and bruising of the lateral ankle and foot. This common sports injury results in ligament sprain and joint inflammation from inverting or inward rolling of the ankle. It is one of the most common of all sports injuries.

Ankle sprains involve injury at the level of the tendons, ligaments, and the joint. There is qi and blood stagnation in the channels and collaterals. The Gall Bladder is usually the primary meridian involved, although the Bladder and Stomach channels may also be affected. Local needling, in the region of Gall Bladder 40, may aggravate and is often avoided during the early stages of acute symptoms. Various options in the Four Step approach that Whitfield Reaves utilizes will give the practitioner numerous alternatives to local needling.

This series was introduced in 2011, and is based upon single individual sports injuries. Each course provides simple and direct video for first time viewing as well as to increase precision through repetition. Even if you have taken the newer series, Mastering the Treatment of Injury and Pain, this old series is still an excellent resource for review and is filled with clinical gems.

    What People Are Saying

    I really enjoy Whit's candor and direct approach to the subject matter. He is informative and knowledgeable with all subject matter. I appreciated the last surprise at the end of this clip, regarding the metatarsal phalanges joint, and how to treat osteo arthritis or bunion. I will take his online learning courses again, most definitely.

    Whitfield Reaves always gives you that little bit of extra info in these presentations that you don't get from his book. I am thoroughly enjoying the series.

    I've really enjoyed completing Whitfield Reeves' series of seminars and feel I have learned a great deal, which I am looking forward to putting into practice back in clinic. Whitfield has been a great teacher, sharing his extensive knowledge and experience in a highly accessible way.
