SUMMARY:MODULE I (The Spine) Assessment & Treatment of Injuries (ATI) (CA)
DESCRIPTION:SMAC Program · Module I · in person\nA hands-on\, in-person course on how spinal degeneration\, vertebral fixations and facilitated segments contribute to musculoskeletal injuries and zang fu pathologies\, and how to treat them. \nDates & time: April 23–25\, 20278:30am–5:00pm PST (US)\nLocation: Marina Village Conference CenterSan Diego\, CA (US)\nInstructor: Ian Armstrong\, L.Ac.\, C.SMA\nCEUs22.5 CAB CE & NCCAOM PDA hours pending\nRegister for this courseHow registration works\nAbout this course\nYou will learn how normal degenerative changes in the spine (spondylosis and a decline of the du mai qi) directly contribute to many musculoskeletal injuries and zang fu pathologies. \nYou will assess the signs and symptoms\, locate spondylosis\, and determine whether a vertebral fixation\, a commonly found perpetuating factor\, is contributing to pain and dysfunction. \nChronic musculoskeletal injury and/or zang fu pathology can create the Western concept of a facilitated segment. Understanding the segmental relationship between the spinal cord\, the zang fu and the myofascial tissues\, and how their neural and channel interrelationships support or harm health\, will greatly benefit the TCM practitioner\, even for the most difficult musculoskeletal injuries and zang fu disharmonies. \nYou will learn and practice specialized Huatuojiaji needling techniques\, combined with Extraordinary Vessels\, acupuncture and motor point prescriptions\, to release vertebral fixations\, restore spinal mobility and break the perpetuating cycle of a facilitated segment. \nYou will learn common postural imbalances that lead to vertebral fixations\, and prescribe therapeutic exercises that reduce spinal stress and add movement to the fixated region. \nSpinal mobilization and specialized myofascial techniques that enhance and solidify the effects of acupuncture are demonstrated and practiced. \nThis course provides information that is integrated into the assessment and treatment workshops in Modules II–IV. \nRead every SMAC Program course on the SMAC Course Descriptions page. \nBefore you register\nRegistering means you agree to the AcuSport Education Agreement Form and Release of Liability below.

SUMMARY:MODULE II (The Low Back\, Hip & Groin) Assessment & Treatment of Injuries (ATI) (CA)
DESCRIPTION:SMAC Program · Module II · in person\nA four-day\, hands-on in-person course that combines everything from Module II into a comprehensive assessment and treatment protocol for sports and orthopedic injuries of the low back\, hip and groin. \nDates & time: July 15–18\, 20278:30am–5:00pm PST (US)\nLocation: Marina Village Conference CenterSan Diego\, CA (US)\nInstructor: Ian Armstrong\, L.Ac.\, C.SMA\nCEUs30 CAB CE & NCCAOM PDA hours pending\nRegister for this classHow registration works\nAbout this course:\nInjuries of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex must be observed as one complex\, not separated in assessment or treatment. Balancing the relationship between the lumbar spine\, pelvis and hip not only decreases pain in those regions but affects most low back\, hip and groin injuries. \nMany sport and work-related injuries are discussed from assessment through treatment. We examine the mechanical “how and why” injury occurs using postural examination\, orthopedic physical examinations and manual muscle testing to assess the musculoskeletal system. Radiographs\, MRI and ultrasound images are presented and discussed. \nReferred pain is a common symptom acupuncturists treat. You will learn to accurately differentiate radicular from referred pain and locate the fixed pain site. With a correct diagnosis of the affected tissue\, you can apply successful treatment protocols to the tissues and the channels and collaterals (jing luo jingjin) for long-lasting results. \nInnovative treatment protocols are introduced\, consisting of advanced needle techniques to the involved tissues. \nThis workshop will refine your assessment and treatment skills\, expand your knowledge of needle techniques and greatly enhance your success rate in treating low back\, hip and groin injuries. \nRead every SMAC Program class on the SMAC Course Descriptions page. \nBefore you register\nRegistering means you agree to the AcuSport Education Agreement Form and Release of Liability below.

SUMMARY:MODULE III (The Lower Extremity) Assessment & Treatment of Injuries (ATI) (CA)
DESCRIPTION:SMAC Program · Module III · in person\nA four-day\, hands-on in-person course that combines everything from Module III into a comprehensive assessment and treatment protocol for sports and orthopedic injuries of the lower extremity. \nDates & time: October 7–10\, 2027\n8:30am–5:00pm PST (US)\nLocation: Marina Village Conference Center\nSan Diego\, CA (US)\nInstructor: Ian Armstrong\, L.Ac.\, C.SMA\nCEUs30 CAB CE & NCCAOM PDA hours pending\nRegister for this courseHow registration works\nAbout this course\nMany lower extremity injuries are due to an imbalance in the lumbo-pelvic-hip region as well as the ankle/foot complex. Balancing the relationship between these structures greatly affects the outcome of treatment. \nMany sport and work-related injuries are discussed from assessment through treatment. We examine the mechanical “how and why” injury occurs using postural examination\, orthopedic physical evaluations and manual muscle testing to assess the musculoskeletal system. Radiographs\, MRI and ultrasound images are presented with evaluative medical reports to referring physicians. \nReferred pain in the lower extremity is a common symptom acupuncturists treat. You will learn to accurately identify the primary tissue causing the referred pain\, then apply successful treatment protocols to the affected channels and collaterals (jing luo) for long-lasting results. \nInnovative treatment protocols are introduced\, consisting of advanced needle techniques to the involved tissue\, as well as reinforcing (bu fa) and reducing (xie fa) techniques to the motor and acupuncture points. \nThis course will refine your assessment and treatment skills\, expand your knowledge of needle techniques and greatly enhance your success rate in treating lower extremity injuries. \nRead every SMAC Program course on the SMAC Course Descriptions page. \nBefore you register\nRegistering means you agree to the AcuSport Education Agreement Form and Release of Liability below.
