Course Overview
Mastering the Treatment of Injury and Pain is a webinar series for the serious practitioner of orthopedic and sports acupuncture. In these courses, Whitfield Reaves describes specific treatment protocols for common injury and pain syndromes. Emphasis is on diagnosis and assessment, including anatomical understanding the numerous types of tissues involved, such as trigger points, motor points, tendons, and ligaments.
Course 2 begins with “Teaching Points”, where both trigger points and motor points are described, and how they are related to acupuncture treatment. Then, three important structures often involved in shoulder pain are presented:
(1) The Supraspinatous. This includes the treatment of the muscle belly (SI 12), the tendon and tendon sheath, and the osseous junction at the rotator cuff attachment on the humerus. This includes tendonitis and tendonosis, shoulder impingement syndrome, and bursitis.
(2) The Infraspinatous. This includes the treatment of the muscle belly (SI 11) and the muscle-tendon junction, as seen in tendonitis and muscle strain.
(3) The Acromial-clavicular joint. Included is the unique treatment called “threading the joint space”, as well as useful adjacent points.
The material of this webinar series is the integration of traditional Chinese acupuncture with western orthopedic and sports medicine. We structure these courses in order to increase practitioner confidence in the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of the shoulder.
This webinar series is designed to be viewed in sequential order. We strongly recommend that the practitioner complete the courses of this series from beginning to end.
This series was introduced in 2021 and represents Whitfield’s most current material on sports acupuncture, with demonstration video filmed in HD. The nine courses include additional injuries not covered in the 2011 series, Acupuncture Sports Medicine Webinar Series. Each course in this new series features more in-depth instruction on diagnosis, assessment, and treatment techniques. Whether or not you have already taken the older series, this new one is a must-have for deepening your clinical mastery.

This course is great for people who want to further understand the western medical interpretation of chinese medicine. I felt I understand the anatomy and how acupuncture points are related and probably came up with for injuries. This is great for people treating athletes or work in an environment with other professionals like physical therapists or doctors. I really like the treatments and have already used it in clinic for the shoulder and had a better outcome for someone I had already been seeing with little result.

Whitfield Reaves has developed a clear, understandable and practical approach to orthopedic acupuncture. I have taken several courses, both in person and online that continue to help me develop both my understanding and technical proficiency of treating injury and pain. I highly recommend his courses.
Wendy B. (United States of America)
The lectures are detailed and informative, repetitious which is nice for absorbing the information but not to the extent that it was boring or overly time consuming. Demo's were great in a time when most practitioners want to limit exposure to COVID. Overall, I would highly recommend!
