Course Overview

Acupuncture 209 gives chiropractors a clear, clinically relevant understanding of Yin/Yang theory and the 8 Principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. These concepts form the foundation of pattern recognition used to differentiate internal versus external conditions, hot versus cold patterns, and excess versus deficiency states. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

You’ll learn how these diagnostic frameworks connect to meridian relationships and clinical decision-making, helping you apply acupuncture theory in a practical, patient-centered way.

Course Details

What You Will Learn
  • The meaning of Yin and Yang and how they are interconnected, relative, and continuous :contentReference
  • How Yin/Yang applies to body regions and clinical presentation (internal/external, hot/cold, excess/deficient)
  • The 8 Principles as four pairs of diagnostic opposites used for pattern recognition
  • True vs false heat/cold patterns and how they influence treatment principles 
  • Meridians as Yin vs Yang and how organ/meridian pairings support clinical reasoning 
Clinical Relevance for Chiropractors

The frameworks taught here help you move from symptom-labeling to structured, repeatable pattern recognition rooted in the 8 Principles

  • Chiropractors incorporating acupuncture into patient care
  • DCs who want a strong foundation in Yin/Yang and the 8 Principles
  • Practitioners seeking clearer pattern recognition for chronic or complex presentations
