Description
Ankle sprains are a common orthopedic complaint. After an ankle sprain there is an increased risk of recurrent sprains and functional ankle instability. Appropriate evaluation and treatment can decrease the likelihood of these complications. This course will include an overview of the most common mechanism of injury, the relevant anatomy, orthopedic assessment and concise acupuncture treatment to address pain, mobility and stability.
Goals and Objectives
1. Identify the most commonly injured ankle ligament and the associated mechanism of injury.
2. Learn evaluation of a patient presenting with an ankle injury and/or chronic instability.
3. Practice assessment, including orthopedic tests and palpation.
4. Supervised practice for needling key anatomical regions
