Low back and hip pain are common reasons patients first come for acupuncture. They can be tricky to treat as there are many factors involved, and misdiagnosis and/or mistreatment is unfortunately very common. Many assumptions are often made without clear assessment, and in many cases, injury to the low back will often involve hip symptoms and conversely, hip pain frequently stems
from the lumbar spine.
Practitioners taking this class will learn to observe, assess and treat the low back and hip as one complex. They will learn how to both precisely identify imbalance between the musculature acting on the hip and low back as well as provide innovative treatment protocols to help correct these imbalances to provide real lasting pain relief.
Injuries will be examined from a mechanical “how and why” perspective using orthopedic physical evaluations and manual muscle testing to more precisely assess the integrity of the musculoskeletal system while keeping treatments grounded in the framework of Chinese Medicine. Advanced needle techniques, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitated stretching and myofascial release techniques are also presented and practiced.
