Watch the recording of the live lab Q&A session last night. Thank you everyone who showed up!
Beginning - 4:58: Case study - weak finger abductors
4:58-15:10: Taping
15:10-24:55: Case study - chronic systemic patient with weakness of supination and pronation
24:55-43:25: Controlled pain modulation technique (distal acupuncture) @GB34 in chronic systemic patient; e-stim and rehab exercises for the chronic systemic patient; patient communication, treatment planning, and expectations
43:25-end: Using soft tissue; length of treatment does not mean better outcomes; avoiding the patient associating length of treatment with perceived value/effect
There are more nuggets in this recording, so it is best with the entire recording.
Thank you to @susan_beck for showing me this

I have a patient with post herpatic neuralgia affecting his upper back and chest.

Hello!
I started treating a patient (male 80y, very active – former professional athlete) who had radiation therapy (2024) applied to his throat and lower face areas, following a throat cancer. The radiation therapy had a heavy impact on his salivary glands, resulting in xerostomia (dry mouth).
The principles of my treatment plan include:
1. Electroacupuncture: Stimulate the involved nerves, i.e. the parasympathetic fibers of the glossopharyngeal (parotid gland) and the facial (submandibular & sublingual glands) nerves.
2. Electroacupuncture: Increase blood flow to the salivary glands.
3. Manual acupuncture: Improve the overall body fluids metabolism (TCM approach).
As for the EA, I am applying the 2-needle technique to the following pairs:
2Hz: RN23 – SI17 (for submandibular & sublingual glands)
5Hz: SJ17 – ST7 (for parotid gland)
QUESTIONS:
1. Did anybody have a similar case? If yes, how did you treat it and with what level of success?
2. Do you think that the ...
