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.
The presentation emphasizes the use the local and adjacent tissues to reduce pain and enhance joint mobility. Understanding the anatomical significance of these structures offers a path for increasing needle precision and enhancing clinical effectiveness. Whitfield will discuss the following five general protocols that can be easily integrated into clinical practice.
1. Threading the needle along the joint space
Example: The acromial-clavicular joint
Transverse needling between LI 16 and LI 15 at the AC joint line
2. Direct puncture into the synovial joint capsule
Example: The talar sinus of the ankle joint
Perpendicular insertion at GB 40, with deep penetration
3. Puncture the muscles that cross the joint
Example: The hip joint
Needling in the region of the extraordinary point Jiankua and GB 29 in the gluteus medius
4. Puncture the local ligaments
Example: The SI Joint
Lateral oblique needling in the region of Bl 27 and Bl 28
5. Puncture points adjacent to the joint
Example: The shoulder joint
Needling adjacent points SI 9, SI 10, and Jianqian
We feel that all practitioners will learn a trick or two in this course!
Threading the joint line in the case of the acromial-clavicular joint. Other joints include the medial knee and the sternal-clavicular joint.
45 min - 1.5 hrsTreating directly into a synovial capsule of a joint, including the shoulder capusle and the ankle joint.
1.5 hrs - 2 hrsTreatment to muscles that cross a joint, such as the gluteus medius in the case of the hip joint.
2 hrs - 2.5 hrsTreating the sacral-iliac joint with emphasis on the posterior SI joint ligaments.
2.5 hrs - 3 hrsThe shoulder joint, and using local points both anterior and posterior that are adjacent to the capsule.

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]". Please factor this date into your own renewal deadline. If an approval expires, you will be able to request that it is renewed and we will submit it for you within 2 business days. 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. We use an automated system within our platform that allows you to make these requests in an easy and convenient way. Just visit the course page in your Net of Knowledge account and click the "Request Approval" button at the top. Each "Course and CEUs/CPDs" purchase grants you 1 request per accreditation body. 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.
