Course Overview
Mastering the Treatment of Injury and Pain is a webinar series for the serious practitioner of 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 of the numerous types of tissues involved, such as trigger points, motor points, tendons, and ligaments.

Course 1 is an introduction to acupuncture sports medicine. We must understand what anatomical and orthopedic acupuncture is, and how it is used in a modern setting. This course continues with describing "anatomically significant points". It is essential to understand how each of the different anatomical structures respond to needle insertion, electrical stimulation, and other approaches like moxa and cupping. For instance, needle insertion into a muscle belly will be quite different than tapping on a ligament. And if there is fibrosis, the point density increases. The concept of fibrosis brings clarity to what we call in traditional Chinese medicine stagnation of qi and stagnation of blood.

And finally, the Four Steps, developed by the presenter, then becomes a guide to treatment. Each step has a specific role in the protocol, and as a whole, these Four Steps offer structure to the treatment of pain and injury. Understanding the Four Steps is a significant benefit for the practitioner, as it often assures that the proper treatment is not overlooked.

This webinar series is designed to be viewed in sequential order. We strongly recommend that the practitioner complete the courses of this series from beginning to end.

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

    Above and beyond my expectations!!! This feels like the missing link and everything we weren't taught in acupuncture school...

    Jonathan F.- United States of America

    The information that was presented was very clinically relevant. There were many gems presented that I had to take note of. I found the presentation to be engaging and the use of real-world cases was helpful.

    Desire J.- Canada

    I have been pleasantly surprised already by Whit's ability to expand on my existing Sports Acupuncture training in just over an hour of lecture. His vast experience is evident. I am excited to work through the rest of this course!

    Jonathan S.- United States of America

    Amazing teacher! Very useful, very practical, very engaging course in orthopedic approaches to injury and pain. Anatomy and structural needling have never been my favorite parts of being an acupuncturist, but this course made it interesting and enabled me to get better results with conditions such as back pain right away. Grateful.
