Course Overview
Treating low back pain is often a complex and complicated undertaking. There are frequently roadblocks to success, relief may be limited, and sometimes improvement is temporary. Part 1 was based upon the all important "triad" structures – the gluteus medius, the quadratus lumborum, and the SI joint. This three-hour webinar is Part 2 of this series, and offers acupuncture perspectives on important but elusive pain generators. This more anatomically based approach takes a significant turn from what traditional Chinese medicine often postulates. No longer can we automatically assume that low back pain is due to kidney deficiency and caused by obstructions in the Bladder channel. Whitfields 40+ years of clinical experience has led to protocols that can assist the practitioner in achieving enhanced results. This online course will present diagnosis, assessment and treatment protocols for back pain, and will include the following structures: 1. The trochanteric bursae 2. The gluteal tendon 3. The sacral-tuberus ligament 4. The hip joint 5. The wrap-around "core" muscles Additionally, Whitfield will give us a short review of the triad – the gluteus medius, the quadratus lumborum, and the often overlooked sacral-iliac joint. The pain generators in this Part 2 online webinar can be included in all treatments of the low back and hip. Add these points to the triad structures, or the foundation treatments that you already may be using, regardless of your background and style.

"This course truly blew my mind! As a massage therapist and chiropractor with 30 years of experience, I became an acupuncturist in 2019 to deepen my understanding of the body after studying NAET and AK. Since taking this course, I’ve gained invaluable insights that have transformed how I assess and treat lower back pain. After incorporating these techniques alongside my Softwave device—an advanced shockwave therapy that enhances circulation and stimulates healing—I’ve noticed that most lower back pain cases lead me to the triad regions described in the course rather than the facet joints. This perspective has been a game-changer, complementing my chiropractic approach and improving patient outcomes. I highly recommend this course to any practitioner looking to elevate their understanding of acupuncture and its role in pain management. I can’t wait to attend an in-person seminar!" — Kirsten Sage, D.C., LAc
