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.
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.

Hello Folks! Couple questions on perfusion protocol:
1. Would it still be effective to use the perfusion principle with only estiming 1 side? For example, pain in the left arm, using perfusion principle on only Left side UB 11-UB15 on the left side and connecting the leads to UB 11-Ub12?
2. In Exstore the leads are attached to right needle to left needle. Would if be effective to attach leads on all left side and all on right side? or must they be attached Right needles to Left needles. For example Right UB 11 to Right UB 12 leads on this side and then Left UB 11 to left UB 12, and so forth.
Thank you, Tina

So I was working on this case for drop foot, and lower body weakness. I wanted to follow up on this case to discuss possible medication removal resulting in improved and consistent firing compared to when she was on the medication. Sudden improvements in mental state, confidence in movement, and improved strength.
There is a medication called Auvelity. Its a combination of Dextromethorphan and Wellbutrin (bupropion).
Dextromethorphan is normally used as a cough suppressant in OTC cough syrups from what i understand by reducing the overfiring of nerve impulses that cause cough. In higher doses though it can cause loss of some motor function, make it harder to coordinate movement, and can impair some receptors associated with memory. It can be classified in higher doses as a dissociative drug like ketamine. It is used recreationally by some people.
2-3 weeks off of this medication she feels alive and coordination is phenomenal but I saw changes week 1 ...
