One of the most common conditions treated by acupuncturists in the US is chronic pain. Yet our training often lacks some of the critically needed theoretical and practical skills needed to handle these patients successfully. In this course, you will learn about the sinew meridian theories and treatments of Dr. Xue Ligong as a way to dramatically improve your clinical outcomes. Dr. Xue Ligong is founder of the Sinew Meridian Branch Association of the Acupuncture and Moxibustion Association of China. His theories and treatments strategies have been growing in popularity in China over the last 25 years. When we learn about sinew meridians as students, we are often told that there are no (or few) associated points and therapies for these pathways. Dr. Xue’s research addresses this problem through a critical re-reading of the Divine Pivot and other later acupuncture texts. His therapies also contribute to an innovative reinterpretation of the classic nine needles of acupuncture. Most importantly, Dr. Xue’s treatments can dramatically improve your clinical results in the treatment of chronic pain associated with soft tissue injuries.

Eric Karchmer, PhD, LAc, Instructor
Eric Karchmer is a doctor of Chinese medicine and a medical anthropologist. He received his medical training from the Beijing University of Chinese medicine, which also formed the basis on his anthropological investigations. His book manuscript, Prescriptions for Virtuosity: The Postcolonial Struggle of Chinese Medicine, examines how doctors of Chinese medicine have responded to the postcolonial power inequalities that have shaped contemporary Chinese society. In his new research project, he is exploring how Taiwanese families and their doctors of Chinese medicine are turning to traditional healing strategies to confront the dangers and uncertainties of modern society, particularly in the care of children. Eric maintains an active clinical practice in Boone, NC, and also serves as a visiting assistant professor at China Medical University in Taichung, Taiwan.
