Treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with Chinese Medicine

According to the National Institute of Health*, “Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most prevalent focal mononeuropathy, constituting 90% of all neuropathy cases.” Acupuncture can be very useful in treating this condition and is among the least intrusive treatments. This course will look at carpal tunnel syndrome, from both a biomedical and Chinese medical point of view. We will discuss real world approaches to diagnosing and treating this fairly common condition. And we will examine its misdiagnosis which happens frequently. Please join us as this is a vital course for any modern practice.

This course will be a live webinar on Sunday, March 1 and August 30, 2026 from 1-3pm pst/pdt.
