Course Overview
Dysfunction of the patello-femoral joint produces pain in the anterior knee in the region of the patella and the extraordinary points, Xiyan. It is a repetitive stress injury characterized by inflammation and irritation of the undersurface of the patella. This may progress to chondromalacia or anterior compartment osteoarthritis.

Knee pain from patello-femoral joint dysfunction is the most common knee disorder encountered by the orthopedic physician. Patients with this complaint are very common to the acupuncture clinic. And while they may be runners, jumpers, or cyclists, patellar pain can be seen in all ages – even with moderate levels of activity. Understanding the complexity of the causes, and the available western treatments is important knowledge to add to the relatively simple and straightforward treatments of acupuncture. In this webinar, Whitfield Reaves will discuss some useful acupuncture sports medicine techniques to treat and manage this commonly seen condition.

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.

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.
