Assessment & Treatment of The Low Back & Hip (February 2025) | SPORTSMEDICINEACUPUNCTURE.COM

Viewing the low back and hip complex as one unit, we will examine injuries from both TCM and Western perspectives. This lecture will focus on the treatment and assessment of common injuries to the low back and hip. This seminar greatly enhances the success rate in treating low back and hip injuries by combining Western and Eastern diagnostic and treatment techniques. We will examine the mechanical “how and why” of specific injuries using orthopedic physical evaluation and manual muscle testing to assess the integrity of the musculoskeletal system. Treatment will consist of needle techniques to the involved motor and acupuncture points to balance the somatic system, rehabilitation exercises and herbal prescriptions.

AcuSport Education Cancellation Terms

AcuSport Education reserves the right to cancel an event due to low enrollment or other circumstances which would make the event non-viable. If AcuSport Education is forced to cancel an event, a full refund of the tuition paid will be granted to the registered student. AcuSport Education will not pay for travel costs incurred due to a cancelled class.

NOTE: Once you register for a specific 3 Day Cadaver Lab, we cannot change or swap the dates that you attend. So, if you are registered for the May class, we cannot move your registration to October. If you register for October, we cannot change your registration to a future date.

All cancellation guidelines still apply though so you can still cancel anytime up to 45 days before the class for a partial refund (less 8% and $50). After that, no refunds can be honored for any reason. We apologize, but due to the nature of this class and the cost of the cadaver, we do not have the flexibility to offer credit. You can transfer your spot to a colleague though! Just let us know who will be filling your seat and we will get them set up.
