Course Overview
Mastering the Treatment of Injury and Pain is a webinar series for the serious practitioner of orthopedic and sports acupuncture. In these courses, Whitfield Reaves describes specific treatment protocols for common injury and pain syndromes. Emphasis is on diagnosis and assessment, including anatomical understanding the numerous types of tissues involved, such as trigger points, motor points, tendons, and ligaments.

Course 5 presents "The Triad", and the postural stabilizing aspects of three important anatomical structures of the low back.
(1) The Gluteus medius. This muscle stabilizes the pelvis with every step we take, so it is crucial that it is properly functioning. In addition, both the gluteus medius and minimus have referral pain patterns in the lumbo-sacral and hip region that the practitioner needs to know.
(2) The Quadratus lumborum. Called "the joker of low back pain", this postural muscle is often overlooked by the practitioner. With his course, you will not miss this important muscle involved in virtually all cases of back pain.
(3) The Sacral-iliac joint. Overlooked by traditional texts, palpation is key to assessment, and our clear and description of treatment logically follows.

The material of this webinar series is the integration of traditional Chinese acupuncture with western orthopedic and sports medicine. We structure these courses in order to increase practitioner confidence in the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of the low back and hip.

This series was introduced in 2021 and represents Whitfield's most current material on sports acupuncture, with demonstration video filmed in HD. The nine courses include additional injuries not covered in the 2011 series, Acupuncture Sports Medicine Webinar Series. Each course in this new series features more in-depth instruction on diagnosis, assessment, and treatment techniques. Whether or not you have already taken the older series, this new one is a must-have for deepening your clinical mastery.

    What People Are Saying

    This series is just the best!

    Teresa G.- United States of America

    Highly recommend this course! Well taught, easy to understand. I think it will make for better success in treating patients.

    Ingrid J.- Canada

    It is so refreshing to study under a well versed practitioner, who is honest about what has worked, what hasn't and to be willing to explain his thinking behind protocols so that practitioners who study under him can understand what they are offering their patients AND why! Whitfield is amazing at explaining things in a manner that someone who is well versed in treating pain/injury finds gold in terms of technique, while simultaneously filling in any learning gaps or novice the learner may have in terms of electrostimulation, shu-stream points, locating anatomy, gua sha, cupping...THE DEMOS ARE OUTSTANDING!!!

Renewals normally come back to us after 30 days. If your accreditation body is not listed under the "Approved" section, you may find it under the "Pending" section.
