Pelvic Floor Acupuncture & Dry Needling are incredibly effective tools for treating pelvic pain as well as Genito-urinary, sexual, and gynecological conditions. Dr. Jamie Hampton has specialized in treating these disorders through pelvic floor acupuncture for over 15 years.
Very few practitioners offer treatments in this specialty, and even fewer are trained to do so. There are many treatment, safety, and ethical considerations when treating the pelvic floor and surrounding areas. Therefore, a common curriculum providing highly effective skills while addressing the safety and care of patients is imperative. Certification through ASE Seminars LLC provides assurance to patients and practitioners alike that the practitioner is met core standards that assure they are capable and competent in treating the pelvic floor.
ASE Seminars LLC has the final decision on certifying practitioners. All competencies must be met. Deficiencies will be addressed in a positive and reinforcing way. Our goal is to make sure you have the necessary competency and ability to confidently and safely treat pelvic floor patients.
