Webinar Série – Acupuntura Desportiva – Curso 15

Descrição

Achilles tendonitis is a repetitive stress injury characterized by pain, inflammation, and swelling of the achilles tendon and its sheath. The entire calf muscle group may be affected. Achilles injury is usually mid-tendon, about 2 to 6 centimeters proximal to its attachment to the calcaneus. This is usually a repetitive stress disorder due to the accumulation of micro-trauma. However, it may occur as an acute strain.

In general, acupuncture is beneficial for most patients using proper treatment described in this webinar. Instructor Whitfield Reaves will discuss the use of local needling using the “threading the tendon”, along with other adjacent and distal points. The practitioner should become much more familiar and confident with achilles tendonitis from the instruction and information of this webinar.

This series was introduced in 2011 in standard definition, and reflects the evolution of sports acupuncture at the time. It is based upon single individual sports injuries and each course provides simple and direct video for first time viewing. Additionally, it assists to increase precision through repetition and review. Even if you have taken the newer HD series, Mastering the Treatment of Injury and Pain, this older series is still an excellent resource for review and is filled with clinical gems.
