This course will elevate your acupuncture practice with Point Injection Therapy. At the completion of the course, you will be able to administer homeopathics, fat burning MICC and vitamins like B12. You will know how to execute trigger point injections with analgesics to provide pain relief to your patients. You will also learn the protocols for ear injections, scar therapy and perineural injections of the neck, low back, hip, and shoulder. All these treatments improve the signaling of nerves and restores the proper flow of qi through the meridians.
Not only will these injections help your patients, but this is a marvelous way to quickly increase your revenue.
This NCBAHM approved 16 hour course will satisfy the WA DOH 16 hour PIT training requirement by giving participants an in-person class. Participants will be proficient in PIT theory, safety, proper patient selection, anesthetic, vitamin and homeopathic injectates. You will be introduced to techniques and state scopes.
Even if you are credentialed or are practicing PIT, you don’t want to miss this course. We will address some of the most missed sources for chronic neck and low back, hip and shoulder pain and how to treat them with injections.
10 states – AZ, CO, FL, HI, NM, NV, MT, SC, UT, WA – include PIT in their acupuncture scopes. The techniques taught in this course can be used in all 10 states.
Space is limited. Registration fee is $1,100. No refund policy.
