The Acupuncture Outsider Podcast ·

2026/02/21

I got to see both women who had what I thought was ACNES and was able to hear what happened after treatment.I also have now been using the Moti Physio for about 7 weeks and have learned how to improve the accuracy of the scan. Here are a couple cases where the scan was useful for many reasons.

AC vs DC devices (Take Two)

The Acupuncture Outsider Podcast ·

2026/02/14

I removed last week's episode because I made too many errors in talking about red leads and black leads on e-stim devices.This episode covers the difference between Direct Current and Alternating Current, the advantages of each and the safety reasons for Electric Stimulation Acupuncture devices to be AC Biphasic. I talk about the differences between the Pointers, the ITO ES-130 and the Pantheon and a little about microcurrent. Online Courses: https://richardhazel.podia.com

The Acupuncture Outsider Podcast ·

2026/02/07

Not all electric stimulation is the same. There is a good reason electric stimulation devices produce a biphasic alternating current instead of a direct current. I went down a rabbit hole on this and I'm going to take you with me. NOTE: at one point I misspoke and said "black lead" when I meant "red lead". Black lead is negative and goes on the motor point. Red is positive and can go on the motor point or something else. Online Courses: https://richardhazel.podia.com

Moti Physio Research Review

The Acupuncture Outsider Podcast ·

2026/01/31

For the most part, the research comparing Moti Physio to the gold standard EOS 3D X-ray was very good. There were a couple areas that were only rated at Fair and I have my opinion about why that was. Chiropractors may still need an X-ray before treatment, but then there's huge value to using Moti regularly (no radiation) for monitoring. Here are my thoughts for Functional Acupuncturists after another week of using the Moti Physio. The paper I looked at most was: Validity and Reliability of a

Key Muscles for Hip Joint Centration

The Acupuncture Outsider Podcast ·

2026/01/11

These are muscles you need to stay on top of even if they don't test weak yet. This is how we keep people from having hip issues in the future and they are muscles we need to treat when they do have hip pain. You'll see this dysfunction even after a hip replacement surgery. You can change the joint (hardware) but if the software (muscles) is still faulty, there will be pain.Online Courses: https://richardhazel.podia.com

The Always-On Function of the Rotator Cuff Muscles

We test the rotator cuff muscles for their internal/external rotation and abduction strength but they have a very important Always-On function too. Just like the scapular stabilizers, the rotator cuff needs to dynamically stabilize so that other muscles like the deltoids and pectoralis muscles can have power.

2025/12/14

Most acupuncturists can treat pain. But the pain comes back. We need to stop obsessing about disc bulges and MRIs and start looking at the actual mechanical problem that is leading to pain. Fix what's tight then strengthen what's inhibited and then retrain the movement pattern. Janda already did the hard work and most are just ignoring it and treating the site of pain.

Most people over 50 have disc bulges and degeneration and are not in pain.30% of people in their 20s have disc bulges and are not in pain. Janda would say that the disc is being injured by postural issues due to muscle imbalances and also because of dysfunctional movement patterns caused by those Upper and Lower Crossed Syndromes. Treating a disc bulge only gives temporary relief. The underlying sheering force caused by a short tight psoas or a forward head placement will start to injury adjacent
