Hasina Erder: Changing the Brain’s Pain Perception as First Line Treatment for Pain – Japanese Acupuncture

Abstract:

When stressed the autonomic nervous system is imbalanced and shows signs of this stress. It appears as palpable sensitive spots and areas in the body, which Hasina calls the ‘Stress Map’.

Treating these spots calms the nervous system and reduces the pain dramatically.

Addressing and treating ‘brain pain perception’ is another important part of the treatment as it affects the deep source of pain.

This course is the fruit of thousands of treatments in Hasina’s clinic over the last 2 decades. Hasina says that “This way of thinking changed my clinic entirely”.

Learning Objectives:

• Treat backache and sciatica by choosing the right points that affect the stress map and the brain’s pain perception.
• Learn the ‘body’s stress map’.
• Create Pain differential diagnosis.

Rani Ayal: Why do We have Neck Pains? A Classical Acupuncturist’s Approach to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Neck Problems

Patients with chronic neck problems are always a challenge in the clinic – many times treatments provide relief of pain and restore mobility but, quite often, the relief is temporary and the issues are never really solved.

The reason behind this is that the neck plays a crucial role in human life – it is the connection between the head and the body; the mediator between Heaven and Earth; the vehicle of interaction between the internal Self and the exterior world.

Chronic issues of the neck point to internal imbalances, which must be addressed in order to promote long-term healing.

In this lecture we will explore the reasons behind neck pains and discuss specific diagnostic techniques, treatment strategies and point selection to improve clinical success.

Bartosz Chmielnicki MD: Unblocking the Flow – Acupuncture in the Treatment of Bi Syndromes

One of the fundamental laws of Chinese Medicine teaches about the constant struggle between the upright, Zheng Qi of the body and pathogenic Xie Qi usually from the outside. 

When pathogenic Qi manages to enter the channels it can block the free flow of Qi leading to various responses from the body. 

In this course the ancient theory of the Bi Syndromes is discussed together with different strategies of treatment and acupuncture points. 

Scientific knowledge coming from modern research in the effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of arthritis will also be presented. 

Learning objectives:

• Use strategies of treatment fitting for the various kinds and stages of the disease.
• Choose effective acupuncture points for the treatment.
• Differentiate various kinds of Bi-obstruction Syndromes.
• Recognise specific stages of development of the Bi Syndrome.
• Know the modern scientific research on acupuncture for arthritis.
