These seminars are stripped of all the Traditional Chinese Medicine Cosmology that causes so much confusion and frustration for the busy clinician. Instead: Dr. Northcutt has condensed, distilled and summarized effective Treatment Algorithms into a simple, logical, protocol that provides "Real World" strategies that can be implemented Monday morning without the addition of expensive equipment and protracted training sessions. Absolutely no rote memorization!

Dr. Northcutt has Performed over 175,000 Acupuncture treatments in 38 years of continuous active practice. He is a Diplomate of the American Academy of Pain Management, Fellow of the International Academy of Medical Acupuncture, and a Diplomate of the American Board of Disability Analysts (Life member). 

Exploring a new paradigm in acupuncture

There are two opposing views in Clinical Acupuncture. On one hand there is Traditional Chinese Medicine, with its vague ambiguous cosmology and antiquated diagnostic practices (Pulse and Tongue Diagnosis) that are devoid of inter-examiner reliability. On the other hand there is the "Modernist" view of Acupuncture which basically reduces the practice to Dry Needling trigger points. The question arises: Is there a "Middle Ground" where we can take the best of both worlds, and implement it effectively into daily clinical practice? The answer is yes! My method is the result of nearly four decades of intensive study and clinical practice. These strategies demystify point selection and are very easy to learn. No expensive equipment or franchises.   95+% of what I teach can be performed using NIAPS (Non Invasive Acu-Point Stimulation) for those practitioners that prefer not to needle the patient. My courses are complete modules. No piecemeal sessions. Attendees will leave with the whole package. No disappointments. That is my promise.
