Treatment of Common Lower Body Musculo-Skeletal Conditions Using Electro-acupuncture and Motor points
San Diego, CA 🌝
October 15th and 16th
This seminar covers some of the most common lower body musculoskeletal pain conditions, including proper assessment and treatment using motor points, electro-acupuncture, and soft tissue techniques. You will be able to implement the clinical skills learned in this seminar your first day back in clinic, and experience better results.
Here is what's covered:
A. Foot/Ankle Lecture discussing the relevant anatomy and biomechanical function
•bone, joint, muscle, nerve anatomy of the foot and ankle

Learn how to identify, assess, and treat foot drop in this in-depth webinar. This webinar cover causes, clinical testing, and effective treatment strategies to get patients moving again.
If you've been getting burned out, annoyed, frustrated, it's not your patients, it's you. You're probably not practicing within your passion, or at least what interests you. And you're not setting healthy boundaries.
If you took EXSTORE™, you can join the meeting this Sunday at 1:15pm EST. We're going to talk about this and how your messaging and marketing are not aligned with your passion and purpose. Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/smHIUMNvTWySJCYZ75aYzA
Arm pain, biceps ( from repetitive stress / vaccum for job, MSK with underline chronic digestive issue and headache )
Topic: arm pain
Presentation : MSK arm start 1 year ago worse with moving and foot external ( + sistemic, DI impacted, headaches)
Scan result : ROM CSPINE LF limited. MT RG deltoid front and lateral , LF supraspinatus and serratus
Treatment : perfusion cervical , activate infra and serratus and upper trap, restore line tecnique biceps
Outcome : ROM C SPINE improved , MT strenght improved on all
Follow up : twice a weeks two weeks, didn’t do manual technique, didn’t give exercise , taped scapula ( leku and protective) made pattient retract scapula ( where can find more content for taping? ) , herbal patch on biceps
Challenges : amount of notes, time management,perfusion on side line ( prop tend to fall) bigger patient and sensitive, can't see muscle moove and patient don’t feel comfortable with muscle jump. Not sure how classify this patient , there is systemic ...
1) after trauma patient reported pain on the RG front arm and neck pain 8on10. MSK presebtation. Did the Scan limited ROM C-SPINE BI 25RG /30LF, limited GH joint RG 100, ST joint RG 30. MT RG suprispunatus and serratus inhibited .Activated with pointer plus infrasp, searratus, wasn’t able to target the levator scalens got activated instead. Did perfusion upper back 20 min, 20 frequency.
Outcome: ROM incresed GH and ST joint not much at C -SPINE.
Challenges to report : find levator scapula point, time Managment.
Follow up : ask patient to return twice a week for 2 weeks. To do list : re-do Scan upper ext., continue perfusion( All visit?) , restore line tecnique on brachialis, other to suggest ?
