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.
Spring is coming… eventually. And when it does, runners will start emerging again, not just the die-hards who have been braving the cold all winter. I treat a whole spectrum of runners in clinic, from Ironman athletes to weekend joggers and everything in between. This webinar is an absolute goldmine, and I hope you get as much out of it as I have.
Happy March! ☘️ This session will introduce the foundational concepts of Exstore along with a real clinical case involving the management of a bone fracture in a competitive golfer. Practitioners will see how orthopedic acupuncture can be applied to support tissue healing, manage pain, and facilitate a safe return to activity. Whether you are new to Exstore or looking to deepen your clinical reasoning, this case-based discussion will offer practical insights you can bring directly into practice.
If you know a colleague who is curious about orthopedic acupuncture or interested in expanding their treatment approach, please feel free to share this event and help spread the word.

Hi, everybody.
@Exstoreman , I have a new patient with right metatarsal pain that has been going on and off for 2 years. (65 yo female, petite.) It started with Achilles' tendinitis and calf pain, then with foot pain as the calf pain subsided. Eventually, it went away, but came back after wearing a pair of boots with slightly elevated heels. Pain sometimes turns into numbness, and sometimes numbness extends to all toes. Her Tibialis Anterior and Peroneal Longus has trigger points. There is only a slight tightness in the medial gastrocnemius and Soleus. She can lift her big toe while standing without pain. Pain is worse when she is driving. The metatarsal gel pad is the only thing that alleviates pain. (Now she has an orthotic, which she is breaking in slowly.) I treated the Peroneal Longus and the Adductor Hallucis as the first treatment. 1) How do I test these muscles (or others)? 2) Should I be looking at other muscles? FYI, she did PT, Chiro, acu, anti-inflammatory ...
@JoshuaSwart you would be proud. I revised my entire home page today for more of a story driven experience from patient perspective. I'd love your opinion. I just need to change my global header links but I feel everything else is improved and I used my photo shoot pictures for alot of it. Should look very polished soon. I have just a few more condition pages to write and I'll have felt I niched down more with 24 common MSK condition and nervous system articles that can be rotated yearly.
