Auriculotherapy Meets the Field of Psychology
2023-09-08 - 2023-09-10 | Place Villa Copenhagen, Denmark
11th International Auriculotherapy Symposium
Treatment by the Ear using Needling and other Methods. Presentations are geared towards Psychologists, physiotherapists, psychiatrists, nurses, midwifes, dentists, general physicians, and acupuncturists.
All presentations will be in English. An online version will be organized in both English and French.
In line with the tradition of Paul Nogier, recent developments in Auriculotherapy (Earacupuncture (AT) focus on treatment of psychic syndromes. AT may be a first-line intervention, but is also practiced by psychotherapists to support Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy (PDT) and Psychopharmacology (PhT) interventions. The 11th International Auriculotherapy Symposium will be building bridges between AT and psychotherapy.
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit their work in the whole field of psychology, where AT interventions may contribute to a complex multidisciplinary approach that is a milestone in integrative medicine.
Background: the number of people diagnosed to have psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, functional disorders, and PTSD is rising worldwide. AT is an effective method, generally free of side effects, which may be practiced as an alternative or complementary medicine to all therapies in the field of psychology.”

East-West Intersections of the Extraordinary Vessels
2023-10-22 09:00 - 17:30 (America/New_York) | American Institute of Alternative Medicine, 6685 Doubletree Avenue, Columbus, OH, 43229, United States
Presented by David Miller, MD, Lac
Far from being esoteric and inaccessible, the Eight Extraordinary Vessels encompass the elegance of the human reproductive system. They describe how this creates the basis for family and culture, and reveal aspects of personality that we encounter every day. Evolutionary Biology presents a phenomenal lens through which to understand the Chinese physiologic systems. While many concepts in Chinese theory appear to be esoteric and ungrounded in juxtaposition to current understandings of human physiology, shifting our focus to consider the systems in the evolutionary paradigm corrects this. This talk will explore the integrative physiology of East-West views on mating and reproduction, focusing on the Extraordinary vessels. These vessels play a role not only in fertility, but also form the foundations of who we are as individuals and sexual beings. Understanding their breadth and scope will enrich practice and increase appreciation of the profundity of their use clinically. Through clarity as to their domains of action, we can better treat our patients for optimal outcomes.
OBJECTIVES:

Understand the Extraordinary Vessels as they pertain to human growth and development as well as to our reproductive roles

Identify key neurologic concepts that form the basis for somatotopic mapping in relation to the Extraordinary Vessels

Recognize the evolutionary persistence of systems presented

Applied Kinesiology: Manual Muscle Testing Comes Alive!
2023-10-28 - 2023-10-29 | Team Rehabilitation Altarum Institute, 3520 Green Ct, Ste 150, Ann Arbor, MI, 48105, United States
Presented by: Jay Sandweiss, DO, FAAMA
Applied Kinesiology is a unique system of diagnosis and treatment that utilizes manual muscle testing to determine the underlying factors responsible for somatic dysfunctions. Each muscle in the body has been correlated with a specific organ or gland, acupuncture meridian, Chapman’s reflex, Bennett’s reflex, nutritional need, cranial stress receptor, or other significant treatment modality. A protocol is taught that systematically seeks out the specific therapies needed by the patient to achieve a healing response.
Applied Kinesiology began over 60 years ago and has continued to evolve as a powerful force in the healing arts. The founder, Dr. George Goodheart, Jr., has expanded upon the viscero-somatic concept to include the major muscles of the body in addition to the traditional spinal-level relationships.
The benefits of learning Applied Kinesiology are many. One learns to artfully test all the major muscle groups in the body. This helps us find the exact weakness pattern underlying a patient complaint (e.g. shoulder, knee or back complaint). On the more advanced level, the Applied Kinesiologist acquires a powerful algorithm for working throughpatient problems. This algorithm integrates novel concepts of holographic neurology with the treatment techniques of numerous other healing arts. Applied Kinesiology is quite helpful in working with chronic and recurrent somatic dysfunctions.

Includes 2-day course, extensive course handout, food, and CEU credits for physical Therapists

Presented by Mike Cummings, MD
This 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.
At the end of this activity, participant will be able to:

Summarize the key mechanisms of acupuncture needling and electroacupuncture
Describe the typical WMA approach to peripheral MSK pain (PoPS)
Outline how this approach is used in the treatment of chronic back, hip and knee pain
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using EA in some of these conditions

Auricular Trauma Protocol (ATP) for Extraordinary Stress and Its Psychologic and Somatic Manifestations Webinar
2024-01-17 20:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | NY
Presented by Mitch Elkiss, DO, FAAMA
Topic: ATP for stress, sleep, pain, dependency.
The 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.
The 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.
Objectives:
At the end of this activity, participant will be able to –

Identify the names and locations of the points used in the Auricular Trauma Protocol
Explain the logic of the Auricular Trauma Protocol
Discuss the clinical use of the Basic I and Basic II derivatives of the Auricular Trauma Protocol
