ADVANCED ACUPUNCTURE
FOR DENTISTS – Did You Get the Point?

A follow-up course for those who have completed a
basic introduction to acupuncture. Following the same lines as the
first course, this day will refresh the practical aspects of acupuncture
to refine technique and then develop knowledge by discussing and
demonstrating:
-
Diagnosis and appropriate use of acupuncture in dentistry
-
Identification of acupuncture points and meridians
-
Additional (distal) points for traditional acupuncture
-
Ear acupuncture
-
Electro-acupuncture and its use in chronic pain
-
Treatment planning
-
Neurophysiology and the mechanisms of acupuncture
-
Expected outcomes
-
Some scientific evidence to support the use of acupuncture
Teaching is by lecture, demonstration and practical
sessions. A course manual will be provided. As before, delegates will
be expected to practice acupuncture on each other …not a day for
needle phobics!

attendance is limited to 14.

THE PARTIALLY DENTATE
