Acupuncture Orthopedics

I'm really excited about my Orthopedics class. The first module was mostly about practice management and it was very empowering! Module two covered the head and how to differentiate between head injuries with either a central nervous system or peripheral nervous system legion. We learned how to test all the cranial nerves and give a complete head exam. Module three covered the neck and upper extremities. We learned to examine, diagnose, and differentiate neck, shoulder, and arm injuries. Part of my commitment to this class is to full fill some observation hours at various medical facilities. I am excited to say that I made a great connection with SOMA orthopedics group at St. Lukes for observation hours and there is a big possibility that I will be in a referral network with them. So, in a few more months I should be able to give a complete exam for any location on the body and properly diagnose any orthopedic issue. Stay tuned for module four which covers the torso, module five which covers the lower extremities, and module six which covers systematic problems.
