Speaker Series Special Case Presentations

Introduction to Speaker Series Case Presentations

Our company started over 40 years ago. Over the years we have heard many interesting examples of cases. Some successes, some plateaus. Always some insight. The other common thing we hear from all levels of practitioners, is that at some point in their practice, they have reached out to colleagues or had to Google symptoms and diagnosis, looking for inspiration or another point of view of a patient presentation they do not regularly see in their practice.

We aim to create a dialogue and sharing of different Acupuncture cases as a way to share experiences. This is not a ‘teaching’ webinar. It is a ‘sharing’ webinar.

Get ready to dive into a myriad of cases ranging from the most complex and challenging to the more common ones that we encounter in our professional lives. You will get to see and understand the thinking process, practical strategies, and effective tactics of some of the most respected practitioners in the industry. Do not miss this chance to learn from some of the most experienced in the business. Advance your knowledge, build on your existing skills, and elevate your professional journey by securing your place in our forthcoming webinar series. Don’t let this incredible opportunity pass you by! Come, let’s engage, learn and grow together.

Scar-Focused Electro-Acupuncture for Lumbopelvic Pain

and SUI in a Postpartum Athlete

This case study follows a highly active mother of three with a complex abdominal history, including three cesarean deliveries and two abdominal hernia repairs, who presented with persistent low back and hip pain during lifting and running. Despite extensive chiropractic and physiotherapy care, symptoms continued to flare and limit both daily and athletic activities. The case underscores the importance of considering surgical scars in pelvic health and musculoskeletal rehabilitation. This presentation reviews key assessment findings, clinical reasoning, treatment selection including electro-acupuncture targeting the caesarean scar and hip region, and the patient’s functional outcomes. This case highlights the potential role of electro-acupuncture as an intervention to address persistent lumbopelvic pain and pelvic health symptoms in postpartum athletes and active mothers.
