That face you make when an Acu posts about someone calling them looking for dry needling, so they lectured the patient on how dry needling is not acupuncture, and then for some reason the patient never scheduled an appointment...hmmm
You can be "right" or you can have a patient.
Besides, dry needling is acupuncture. All acupuncture is. That's why acupuncturists should own it. Get the patient in and then use what you know to help them. Who cares, just get the patient into your clinic!
January’s webinar is here! This one is a favorite of mine because it includes the fascial lens when teaching the movement of the foot and ankle. It cover anatomy, fascia, and accessory motion of the foot and ankle. Definitely worth checking out.

@Exstoreman 62 year old female with Left Lateral Leg Pain. Constant pain radiating down lateral left thigh and calf into foot with numbness and cold feeling primarily in big toe and pins-and-needles sensation throughout upper foot. Whole foot is very sensitive. Leg feels heavy.
Began 2 years ago with sudden severe low back pain. Toes in L foot suddenly went numb and went up side of leg.
See attached MRI report.
She's otherwise very healthy and has NO LBP whatsoever. Walks 4-5 miles/day. Skis (and notices it’s harder to turn with left leg).
Have treated her 5 times so far (weekly), treating MPs and doing renovation with no improvement in symptoms except for after the 3rd visit her leg felt a bit lighter, but just for a few hours. Also, SLR is improved.
Wondering if there's anything else I can try? MRI mentioned drop foot (no symptoms now) - should I treat the peroneal nerve (as discussed in recent LIVE)? Other ideas?
1st EXSTORE Scan:
ROM:
SLR: L-50 / R-60 (limited by hamstring tightness)
Inhibition:
- L TFL
- R ...
