Needling Theory on Depth, Direction, and DeQi
Dr. Christine Chang explains what makes a "WOW" Acupuncture treatment using factors such as needle depth, direction, and "De Qi" sensation.
Course Overview
Treatment results from practitioner to practitioner can vary greatly when treating a condition. Even more confounding is when treatment results vary when different practitioners treat the same patients with the same points, but somehow one practitioner’s treatment results in a “so-so” treatment, and the other produces a fantastic result. Dr. Chang will discuss the importance of needle depth, direction, and engaging the De Qi sensation as factors in creating a “Wow” treatment. Based on her years of clinical experience, she will help both new and experienced practitioners refine their needling techniques for more effective and consistent outcomes.

I recommend this course for anyone wanting new ideas on improving needling technique and effectiveness. It's also good for those of us who can use a reminder on distal point selection for pain issues. It's brief, informative and fun. Includes some good examples.
