ADVANCED ACUPUNCTURE COURSE 241:

Peripheral Nerve Entrapment Syndromes

Learn to accurately diagnose and effectively treat nerve compression syndromes
with advanced clinical strategies drawn from both Eastern and Western medicine.

Unlock the Power of Precision Diagnosis for Nerve Entrapments

Peripheral nerve entrapment syndromes (PNES) are among the most underdiagnosed yet treatable causes of chronic pain and functional loss. In this course, you'll explore the anatomy, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation of compressive neuropathies affecting the upper and lower limbs, pelvis, and trunk. Through detailed case studies, physical exam techniques, and modern diagnostic tools, you’ll learn how to differentiate between similar syndromes and apply targeted interventions such as acupuncture, dry needling, mobilization, and electrodiagnostic support. Whether you treat athletes, post-surgical patients, or chronic pain sufferers, this training will transform your approach to nerve-related dysfunctions.
