Foundations of LumboPelvic Dry Needling & Pelvic Floor Acupuncture

This is the foundations class that is a pre-requisite to the Advanced Pelvic Floor Acupuncture seminar 

Pelvic Floor dysfunctions encompass a number of recalcitrant, difficult to treat and debilitating painful and neurological conditions for which there are few options for treatment in the current, mainstream medical system. Pelvic floor disorders are crippling to many patients, stressing marriages and relationships, affecting sexual and urogenital function, and significantly reducing the quality of the patient’s life. While Acupuncture is one of the few treatments out there that can truly help resolve pelvic floor pain and dysfunction, there are very few acupuncturists that specialize in treating pelvic floor disorders. Dr. Jamie Hampton, DAOM, L.Ac. is changing that by offering this seminar. Dr. Hampton has specialized in treating pelvic floor for 15 years and draws on her experience to give you a dynamic, clinically focused class.

The pelvis is the attachment site of some 36 muscles. Understanding these structures and their relation to the pelvis is key. We start the seminar with the larger muscles that can affect the function of the pelvis and the pelvic floor, and can cause pain into the pelvis and pelvic floor via trigger point referrals. We then go into the nerves, ligaments, and the pelvic floor itself, covering needling of the pelvic diaphragm/levator ani, common urogenitary and pelvic floor disorders of men and women, and treatment strategies. Of course, this seminar includes guided hands-on practice of needling.

Other crucial aspects of treating pelvic floor patients are covered in this seminar, including treatment room and patient management skills such as draping, informed consent, communication, ethics, patient interaction and treatment room etiquette, and so on. This is the important training you get on the actual practice of pelvic floor acupuncture, something only available from Jamie Hampton, DAOM and her 15 years of specializing in treating pelvic floor patients.

Attendees of Jamie’s classes also get access to her private community, where they can ask question and receive guidance on helping pelvic floor patients.

Course objectives:

• Review trigger points, pain, peripheral and central sensitization, pain referrals
• Review and learn the specific muscles of the lumbo-pelvic region: Iliopsoas, QL, Multifidi, etc. (see list below)
• Review anatomy of the pelvis including bone, ligaments, plexi
• Learn the anatomy and function of the pelvic diaphragm, levator ani, and perineum
• Understand common pelvic floor complaints, pain, and disorders due to trigger points, pelvic and pelvic floor dysfunction
• Learn treatment strategies, needling techniques, and electro-acupuncture for pelvic floor disorders
• Understand proper treatment room etiquette and ethics when treating pelvic floor patients
