Acupuncture Sports Medicine Webinar Series - Course 9
Hip Bursitis
by Whitfield ReavesAcupuncture Sports Medicine Webinar Series - Course 9
Course Overview
Trochanteric bursitis presents as pain and stiffness in the hip and lateral thigh which may radiate down the ilio-tibial band. It is often a repetitive stress injury characterized by inflammation of the trochanteric bursa of the hip. Sometimes, it may occur from acute trauma. Hip bursitis usually involves the gluteal muscles and the ilio-tibial band.Treatment of the hip bursae, as shown in this webinar, skillfully combines local and adjacent points. Locally, there are various techniques to treat the bursae itself. And the adjacent muscles, including the gluteus medius, alert the practitioner to vitally important tissues where no traditional acupuncture points are located. Whitfield Reaves teaches that treatment of trochanteric bursitis is one of the very highly effective injuries, as it responds quite well to the techniques of acupuncture sports medicine. He will include instruction on the extraordinary point Jiankua, an extremely useful point in hip and gluteal conditions.
This series was introduced in 2011, and is based upon single individual sports injuries. Each course provides simple and direct video for first time viewing as well as to increase precision through repetition. Even if you have taken the newer series, Mastering the Treatment of Injury and Pain, this old series is still an excellent resource for review and is filled with clinical gems.

It's a pleasure to hear a teacher who is not only highly experienced and knowledgeable, but a highly skilled presenter as well. Just prior to listening to Dr. Reaves webinar, I had taken another online CE course. The other course was chaotically presented, which detracted from some good content. Thanks, I needed to see something done the way it should be! Henry B.United States
