Acupuncture Sports Medicine Webinar Series - Course 4
Frozen Shoulder: Pain and Decreased Range of Motion
By Whitfield Reaves
Net of Knowledge is an exciting, new continuing education platform built specifically for TCM and integrative health practitioners.
We are industry stakeholders who have come together from around the globe with a common mission: to inspire and support practitioners like you in your pursuit of knowledge and growth, so you can keep giving more to the patients and communities you support.
Come learn from some of the brightest minds of our field in our engaging digital environment.
To support your continuous self-development, we wanted to make it easier for you to keep learning from the teachers you love, even when you don’t need the CEUs. A lot of time goes into making the quiz and certificate applications for a course—if you don’t need it, why pay for it?
If you see a course or series you’re interested in, but aren’t sure if you need it towards your CEUs, just purchase the ‘Course Only’ or 'Series Only' option, and start learning right away! If you decide you need the CEUs at a later time, you can purchase the CEU add-on then.
Please note, CEU add-ons can only be applied if you have the course or series in your account, to begin with. If you buy a CEU add-on on its own, you will need to go back and buy the course or series respectively.
You have selected CEUs ONLY option. The CEU add-ons can only be applied to courses you already have in your Net of Knowledge account.
If you have purchased a CEUs ONLY option first by accident, you can come back here and purchase the COURSE ONLY option, and they will link back up automatically.
With all these different causes of dysfunction, it is no wonder that no single technique of acupuncture works a majority of the time. Whitfield Reaves will discuss some of the approaches he has found useful in treating this sometimes stubborn, clinical complaint. And while frozen shoulder may resist treatment at times, the practitioner needs to be fully aware of its causes, and thus, precise treatment may be better performed. Different complementary treatments, such as physical therapy, will also be discussed.
This series was introduced in 2011, and is based upon single individual sports injuries. Each course provides simple and direct video for first time viewing as well as to increase precision through repetition. Even if you have taken the newer series, Mastering the Treatment of Injury and Pain, this old series is still an excellent resource for review and is filled with clinical gems.
Anatomy of the soft tissue of the shoulder.
15 min - 30 minClinical assessment of pathology of frozen shoulder.
30 min - 45 minDemonstration of assessment: Demonstration of palpation of the shoulder girdle, point location, and orthopedic testing.
45 min - 1 hrsDemonstration of technique: Small Intestine 11, 12, and needle technique for non-local points: Stomach 38, Small Intestine 6, Zongping.
Whitfield Reaves gives concise advice and ideas in a very reasonable time frame for refreshing your knowledge. I appreciate the attention he pays to the anatomy and the detailed diagrams of muscle origin/insertion to help describe ideas during the session.
Nicole D.- CanadaThis class is worth it just for needling demonstration of SI 6 and distal legs points. Whitfield Reeves brings together a complex array of approaches to treating the shoulder to help the practitioner have a wonderful menu of options for customizing an appropriate treatment for a complex complaint of frozen shoulder. He has worked hard to distill what is likely to be useful in clinical practice.
Erica T.- United StatesI love Whitfield Reaves. I have been practicing for 28 years and saw a seminar he gave while in school, I have followed him ever since and have used his techniques with great success many times.
Patricia K.- United States of AmericaWhitfield Reaves is one of the best orthopedic acupuncture teachers I have worked with and I would recommend any course he teaches. Nancy H US
Nancy H.- United States of AmericaWhitfield Reaves courses are so practical and useful in a clinical setting. Using his methods has been very effective for me getting results with patients. Every acupuncturist should take at least a couple of his courses.
Madison D.- CanadaIn my opinion, this is the best of the 5 webinars I have completed so far. Very helpful information that is new to me regarding empirical points to treat frozen shoulder, deep needling of the classic St38, and ways to access the shoulder capsule. The current recommendations based on evidence based practice are that regular physical therapy other than home exercise instruction and follow up do not help with the freezing and frozen stages. Oftentimes, patients are now being told to wait it out, which can be very frustrating. This is a great opportunity for acupuncturists to step up and become very proficient at treating these patients, and this webinar provides many ideas of ways to do so.
Elizabeth D.- United StatesThis course was a good review of the treatment of frozen shoulder with the addition of a number of clinical tips based on Whitfield Reaves extensive clinical experience.

Some accreditation bodies have course approval expirations. If the approval expires, you will see a notice next to the name with a date of expiration: "[Until YYYY/MM/DD]".

Renewals normally come back to us after 30 days. If your accreditation body is not listed under the "Approved" section, you may find it under the "Pending" section. That means that it is either currently pending approval, or that it is available for you to request: "[Upon Request]". New course approvals usually come back to us after 45 days.

If you request a course approval and do not complete it before its new expiration date, you will need to purchase another "CEU/CPD Add-On" to make another request. If the course is ineligible for approval with an accreditation body due to their subject-matter policies, it will be listed as "[Ineligible]", and no requests will be possible for the course.
