Nobody Owns Motor Points or Orthopedic Testing

The Acupuncture Outsider Podcast ·

2022/08/07

No one can own orthopedic assessment or treatment with motor points and trigger points. And you can't own acupuncture points. But we don't have a generic name for a treatment of motor points with electrical stimulation to treat pain and mobility issues. We see plenty of names that were created to represent a single person's perspective but that others are not supposed to use if they didn't study that method. We need a term that anyone who is sitting in front of a computer can search for to find an

The Acupuncture Outsider Podcast ·

Neuromodulation is a big word. I wanted to be sure I knew what it was and I realized that we should all be using this word more often to explain what we do, especially when we talk to medical professionals. Here's the link to the study I mentioned: https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/10/13/4647/pdf

Why We Need to Understand How the Body Responds to...

The Acupuncture Outsider Podcast ·

2022/07/19

Understanding postural issues, over-use issues, the actions and antagonists and synergists of muscles is essential to treating tough cases and in many cases we simply can't do muscle testing on patients due to age, size, level of pain or other reasons. When we understand how to body responds to pain and over-use we can often put together a solid treatment plan without muscle tests. The thought experiment today was all the ways I can think of that the TFL can cause low back pain. How many can you

The Acupuncture Outsider Podcast ·

2022/07/10

There are things that happen to the body when there's injury or a surgery. One of them can be the fascia lata getting very tight. You won't find this from muscle testing. You need to know what you are looking for and how to address it. I mentioned IASTM in this episode so here's a good example of IASTM from Brent Brookbush of the Brookbush Institute: https://youtu.be/DKp4zR0hdJQ

Is that SIJ Pain Really Coming from the SIJ?

The Acupuncture Outsider Podcast ·

2022/06/16

Not all SI Joint pain is coming from the SI Joint. In fact, many or most times it's coming from something else. The SIJ is often the underlying instability for many issues like hip and back pain, but that doesn't mean the SIJ will hurt. When there's pain at the SIJ I always check these three things first.

Infraspinatus trigger points can look just like a C5-6 radiculopathy with neck and arm pain and numbness and tingling in the thumb and index finger.

2022/03/13

People who are not familiar with neurofunctional acupuncture may be hesitant to use electrical stimulation acupuncture on neuropathy, but we have decades of clinical evidence from the McMaster program out of Canada that has shown how well electric stimulation of nerve trunks and motor points can act as a nerve block with long-lasting results for neuropathy.
