Course Objective:
Acupotomy, which applies a device of acupuncture needle with a surgical scalpel to treatment procedures, was developed in 1976 by Professor Han-Zhang Zhu of China. As a modern acupuncture treatment, it has been used to treat patients with pain caused by various diseases and can be used to remove chronic lesions in soft tissue.
Based on micro-anatomy, acupotomy has been applied to treatment of more than 140 soft-tissue injuries and other diseases. This class will introduce the Acupotomy theory, survey its clinical application, and present cases that involve the head and cervical region for example.
The speaker is licensed both in California and Mexico, with over two decades of learning, teaching, and practicing experiences of acupotomy in Mexico and China. As the original acupotomy technique is beyond the acupuncture scope of practice in California, the speaker will deliver the concept and possible applications with filament needles that are legally allowed to be performed by Californian acupuncturists.
By attending this class, the participant is expected to meet the following learning objectives:
1. To obtain a basic understanding of micro-anatomy
2. To relate the micro-anatomy concept to acupuncture procedures
3. To learn Acupotomy knowledge and skills for clinical practice
4. To be enlightened by the cases to develop additional clinical application
