SUMMARY:Acupuncture for Chronic MSK Pain – Backs\, Hips\, and Knees Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Mike Cummings\, MD \nThis webinar will briefly summarize the Western Medical Acupuncture (WMA) approach based on neurophysiological mechanisms of deep somatic nerve stimulation via acupuncture needling and electroacupuncture. It will use these mechanisms to explain the generic principles of point selection (PoPS) used in the WMA approach and use them to outline the development of some standard protocols used in the treatment of chronic MSK pain from the back\, hips\, and knees. \nAt the end of this activity\, participant will be able to: \n\nSummarize the key mechanisms of acupuncture needling and electroacupuncture\nDescribe the typical WMA approach to peripheral MSK pain (PoPS)\nOutline how this approach is used in the treatment of chronic back\, hip and knee pain\nDiscuss the advantages and disadvantages of using EA in some of these conditions

SUMMARY:Auricular Trauma Protocol (ATP) for Extraordinary Stress and Its Psychologic and Somatic Manifestations Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Mitch Elkiss\, DO\, FAAMA \nTopic: ATP for stress\, sleep\, pain\, dependency. \nThe Auricular Trauma Protocol\, at the request of the Department of Defense\, was created in 2010 for treating PTSD in the military. It was found to be successful in helping wounded warriors cope with their stress\, pains\, sleeplessness\, and drug dependencies. It was tested in Afghanistan\, the Intrepid Center in Bethesda\, and at the Nellis AFB family medicine clinic. There is evidence of its benefits that will be presented. In 2012\, the military approached us about developing advanced strategies for treating stress issues\, pain management concerns\, sleep disturbances\, and drug dependencies. Thus\, was created the Basic I and Basic II patterns. They are based on the foundational ATP with added points for personalization of treatment. \nThe origins\, logic\, and clinical utilization of the ATP and its Basic I and Basic II derivatives in the treatment of patients will be discussed in depth. The focus will be on patients with problems related to Stress\, Pain\, Sleep\, and/or Dependency. \nObjectives: \nAt the end of this activity\, participant will be able to – \n\nIdentify the names and locations of the points used in the Auricular Trauma Protocol\nExplain the logic of the Auricular Trauma Protocol\nDiscuss the clinical use of the Basic I and Basic II derivatives of the Auricular Trauma Protocol

SUMMARY:Interosseous Membrane Stimulation An Effective and Underutilized Treatment Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Michael Freedman\, MD\, FAAMA \nThis presentation will discuss the use of interosseous membrane stimulation and the proposed mechanism of action of the treatment. Three of the myriad conditions with pain in the distal extremeties for which this stimulation is an effective treatment will also be presented. Participants will learn a safe\, minimally invasive and effective acupuncture option. \nAt the end of this activity\, participant will be able to – \n\nIdentify at least 3 factors that contribute to the control of blood flow to the extremities.\nDescribe evidence for autonomically mediate mechanism of action of interosseous membrane stimulation.\nIdentify at least 3 disease processes for which the treatment is effective.
