Your needle may be touching more segments than you think! Here’s a dandy illustration I made this morning showing cervical myotomal innervation of the back. A good reminder that your patient’s "back" pain may be neck pain in disguise.

Are you seeking more effective solutions for chronic myofascial pain that continually challenge your patients and your practice? Have you noticed recurring myofascial trigger points that resist traditional treatments?

Learn a transformative approach to acupuncture through this upcoming course, which challenges conventional beliefs about chronic pain by exploring the neurogenic hypothesis of myofascial pain. This perspective unveils that myofascial pain is not solely about trigger points but involves a dynamic interaction between peripheral distress signals and central nervous system sensitization, particularly spinal segmental sensitization.

Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or new to the field, this course offers invaluable insights into segmental acupuncture techniques that are especially suited for chronic pain management.

Here's what you can expect:

Deepened Understanding: Gain comprehensive knowledge about the segmental nature of acupuncture, transcending traditional boundaries to appreciate its underlying mechanisms.

Anatomical and Embryological Insights: Explore the intricate anatomy and embryological development of the nervous system. Understand the critical role of the autonomic nervous system in managing complex health conditions and chronic pain.

Segmental Assessment Techniques: Acquire skills in segmental assessment to effectively determine the impact of segmental sensitization in your patients' ailments.

Improved Clinical Outcomes: Move beyond temporary solutions with strategies that address both peripheral dysfunction and central sensitization. A segmental acupuncture approach promotes fast, long-lasting relief from myofascial pain and other knotty conditions.

Cutting-edge Therapies: Discover a variety of advanced therapies, including innovative acupuncture modalities, manual therapies, and electro-therapy neuromodulation, to enhance your effectiveness in treating complex chronic pain and internal medicine conditions.

This course emphasizes practical, hands-on learning, equipping you with techniques that you can immediately integrate into your practice.

Don’t miss the opportunity to advance your skills and knowledge in segmental acupuncture techniques.

Approved for 24 CA Cat 1 CEUs (counts 1:1 for NCCAOM)

Dr. Joshua Margolis, LAc is teaching an Intro. to Segmental Acupuncture workshop on June 7-9 in Irvington, NY, and it's a fantastic opportunity to deepen your understanding and expand your therapeutic toolbox.

You might not have come across the term "segmental acupuncture" in your training, but you’re likely applying its principles every day via Hua Tuo Jia Ji points and distal acupuncture points already.

For example, distal points like SP 6 and KD 3 are classical points for treating fertility issues and low back pain. They are innervated by S1/S2, the same spinal segmental levels that innervate the sacroiliac joint and uterus. That's why treating distal points near the ankle are so good at treating low back and gynecological issues.

Realizing how acupuncture points integrate into segmental acupuncture can significantly enhance the effectiveness of your treatments.

The Segmental Acupuncture approach pinpoints segmental dysfunction to address complex issues like referred pain, visceral discomfort, and autonomic symptoms. This approach can really help us get to the root of some puzzling conditions that might otherwise be tough to tackle.

To address segmental dysfunction Dr. Margolis will teach segmental assessment protocols and acupuncture approaches, manual therapy techniques, electro-stimulation protocols, periosteal pecking and much more.

Furthermore, you will also gain a deeper understanding of Medical Acupuncture: notably Gunn's Intramuscular Stimulation, Mann's periosteal pecking, Lawrence’s osteopuncture, cutaneous nerve stimulation, and segmental electroacupuncture "shotgun” technique Craig PENS.

You will come out with so many new tools and techniques to enhance your assessment and treatment protocols.

Early bird rate is until May 1.
