Known issue with course eval & completion

Posted on by

Dear NCCAOM Diplomates

We were made aware on June 27, 2024 of an issue with a 3rd-party software platform such that course evaluations stopped popping up after finishing the course content and quiz, and we were not being automatically notified of completion of live webinars or distance-learning courses so that we could report back to the NCCAOM to request issuing of official PDA certificates.

We believe this problem has now been fixed, but if you are an NCCAOM Diplomate and have completed a course but have not received your official PDA certificate of completion from the NCCAOM, please let us know and we will report it manually to the NCCAOM ASAP.

If you have not been able to obtain your official PDA certificate within a timeframe as expected and required for license renewal, employment, or other external agency, please email info@aomprofessional.com. We will be glad consider requests for refunds or credit towards future courses.

We value our customers, and as licensed acupuncturists ourselves, we know how much credit for timely completion of courses can mean to licensed professionals. We sincerely apologize for any distress or inconvenience that this problem has caused. Please let us know of any additional questions or concerns you have,

Regards,

Anthony Von der Muhll, L.Ac.
Head Instructor, AOM Professional

What You Need to Succeed: Essential Skills in Pain Management with AOM

Posted on by

I’m grateful and excited to be presenting 16 CEUs/PDAs on April 13-14th at the Acupuncture Society of Virginia Conference, Fairfax, VA, regarding “What You Need to Succeed: Essential Skills in Pain Management with AOM.”

 

I’ll discuss and demonstrate practical treatment of orthopedic and pain conditions with acupuncture and other AOM modalities, as alternatives to opioids and other pain medications. Attendees will go home with immediately-applicable clinic skills as well as a “road map” for study and practice in pain management that will enhance your value to your patients and to  multi-disciplinary pain clinics.

7-star, 3-edged and lancet acupuncture

Superficial puncture with 7-star, 3-edged, and lancet needles can help treat bursitis, tendinitis, blood stasis, ligamentous insufficiency, and chronic myofascial pain resistant to other needle types and techniques, and can also be combined with suction cupping and gua sha for even stronger effects to reduce edema and inflammation and restore normal blood flow in injured muscles and connective tissue. The broader tips of 3-edged and lancet needles and the wider coverage of a 7-star needle have more widespread effects than the precision approach of filiform needles. Combining suction cupping with 7-star, 3-edged and lancet needles enhances their therapeutic effects by draining stagnant body fluids (heat and damp) from the area.

7-star, 3-edged and lancet needle techniques are taught throughout the Integrative Acupuncture Orthopedics classes.
