SUMMARY:
Acupuncturists all know that low back pain is prevalent in the clinic. This can be complicated and stubborn in terms of achieving significant treatment results. Whitfield Reaves has taught for years the use of “The Triad” in the treatment of low back and hip pain. This system suggests that the Quadratus lumborum, the Gluteus medius, and the Sacroiliac joint are important pain generators in lumbo-sacral conditions, and are often ignored for more common Jing-luo (meridian) style treatments.
In this webinar, Whitfield explored the diagnosis and assessment of pain due to the Sacroiliac joint. And of course, discuss a treatment plan using both common acupuncture points as well as other non-meridian zones. He included short video clips in this webinar to demonstrate proper needling technique.
