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 ...
51 year old man with bilateral hand and wrist pain, numbness, and weakness. He gets numbness and tingling in 4th and 5th fingers and pain in thumbs and thenar area. Hands feel cramped and like they need to be stretched open. Weakness and zinging pain on gripping objects and opening jars, loss of hand strength.
Onset has been recent, over a 2 month time period.
I know it’s systemic but I did EXSTORE anyway and didn’t find anything that seemed like it would contribute to this. L side supraspinatus and serratus inhibited.
I have been doing perfusion treatment around c7-T3 twice a week for 2 weeks with no effect. Any thoughts? Not sure what else to do or test.
I had a new patient come in yesterday (63 years old, female) with complaints of burning, numbness, and hot pain in the lateral portion of her right thigh for 5 years. She says it's always there but doesn't cause pain or disrupt her lifestyle so she lives with it. She was also VERY sensitive in that area to touch. She has no history of spine issues. She is active and exercises 5-6x/week, primarily walking and running.
Lower exstore scan revealed weakness in bilateral psoas, which I restored using the pointer plus. Not sure if its related to the case, but she is active so i knew it would benefit her anyway.
I did some local needles on motor points of the quadriceps which was VERY sensitive for her. She could not tolerate needles on that leg, but everywhere else was fine. Since I already had her in that position, I did distal and auricular points. I finished up with light gua sha to draw blood to the area.
After doing research, I found what she is describing is Meralgia Paresthetica. This ...
