THE COURSE
At this ‘Pain Management’ course for professionals you will learn:

• Six approaches to eliminate and reduce muscular skeletal pain, Dry Needling, Acupuncture, Acu-stimulator, Acupressure, Ear Acupuncture & Moxibustion
• How to treat the cause of pain, rather than just the symptom.
• How to use the Acu-stimulator to find the correct point (saving time, reducing the need to needle excessively and reducing patient pain).
• How to deal with problems other than muscular skeletal issues, such as headaches, migraines and toothache.

These techniques are easy to learn and quickly incorporated into your clinical practice. This course is unique to New Zealand. These simple, but powerful techniques, will allow you to provide more effective pain relief for your patients.
