Workshop Summary: Acupuncture
Pain Protocols (in the Czech language)

Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of effective acupuncture strategies for managing various types of pain, including headaches, neck, shoulder, low back, hip, knee, ankle, and rheumatic pain. Through a series of well-structured slides and protocols, they will:
• Identify common TCM patterns (e.g., Qi and Blood stagnation, Wind-Cold-Damp, Liver Qi stagnation, Kidney deficiency) associated with each pain condition.
• Learn precise point prescriptions for both acute and chronic presentations, including local, distal, and empirical points.
• Understand how to differentiate and treat
Bi syndromes based on the nature of the pain (migratory, fixed, cold, damp, or hot).
• Explore the rationale behind point selection, including anatomical relevance and meridian theory
• Apply needling techniques (tonification vs. reduction) based on excess and deficiency syndromes.
• Strengthen clinical confidence in developing personalized, syndrome-based treatment plans for musculoskeletal and neurological pain.
This workshop includes a 90-minute theoretical lecture followed by a 3-hour hands-on needling practicum, offering essential tools for clinicians seeking to refine or expand their acupuncture pain management skills.

First Acupuncture Workshop as a Successful Pilot Project in Prague, CZ!
Published on April 9, 2025

Full article in the Czech language: https://sslb.cz/prvni-workshop-akupunktury-jako-uspesny-pilotni-projekt/

At the University Hospital Královské Vinohrady (FNKV) in Prague, a professional workshop focused on pain management through acupuncture took place. Under the leadership of Dr. Viktor Krystufek, DACM, Dipl. OM, LAc, an internationally recognized expert and former President of the Acupuncture Society of New York (ASNY), physicians, therapists, and pain specialists gathered to explore the possibilities of integrative medicine.

The program offered a 90-minute theoretical session followed by a three-hour practical training focused on clinical skills. Participants engaged in topics such as:
• Acupuncture protocols for treating headaches, spinal pain, joint pain, and other conditions.
• Differentiation of painful conditions according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (e.g., Qi and Blood stagnation, Wind-Cold-Damp syndromes).
• Advanced acupuncture point combinations for acute and chronic pain.
• Hands-on practice in needling techniques, electro-acupuncture, and clinical simulations.

The workshop was organized as a complimentary pilot course under the professional sponsorship of MUDr. Šimon Kozák, SSLB, and the Department of Anesthesiology and Resuscitation of the 3rd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, and FN Královské Vinohrady. The goal was to bridge traditional Chinese principles with modern clinical approaches to pain management.

Thanks to the positive feedback, plans are underway to continue offering this workshop regularly, approximately three times a year
