Course Overview
Low back pain, especially chronic low back pain, is the number one reason people seek out acupuncture services in most western countries. Knowing how to successfully manage low back pain patients not only provides much needed relief to those suffering from this common condition, but it can also be of prime importance to successful acupuncture practice. In this practical course, Matthew Bauer shares his tried and true point combinations for treating low back problems as well as his highly refined systems for patient management. You will learn than most low back pain patients will respond well to either a local or distal point combination and how to choose between the two. Matthew refined his point and patient management protocols over an intensive 2-decade period when he had thousands of low back pain patients referred to him from several pain management clinics in Southern California. Most of these cases were patients that had already been unsuccessfully treated with multiple modalities from pain management doctors and therapists. Even if you already do well with most low back pain patients, this course will help you improve your success rates with those unresponsive ones.
Objective

    *CEU/CPD Approvals

    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.
