Results - not time - are how to measure how effective your treatments are. Never base your rates in time.
I would take any mention of time OFF your website. If you want to include wording to the effect that an initial visit may be up to a certain amount of time, that’s one thing. But you aren’t an insurance company and your treatments should not be attached to a pre determined amount of time. That’s setting an expectation that you don’t want the patient to have
I had more happy patients when I spent less time with them but used skills that were much more effective.
Believe me, patients don’t want to be in your clinic for an hour or more. Unless you serve alcohol and food.
Caveat - you don’t need to spend 10 years learning how to be effective and deliver exceptional results. We have the training to get you there much faster.
In this webinar, we’ll cover a practical approach to assessing neuropathy, identifying common and overlooked causes, and developing effective treatment strategies you can apply in clinical practice. You’ll leave with clinically relevant assessment tools and treatment concepts that can be incorporated into practice immediately.

@Exstoreman Difficult case
43 year old woman
CC: R drop foot progressively worsening
Systemic steroids helped the pain but not the drop foot
Has 6 lumbar vertebrae
Imaging:
July 2026: L-spine MRI - moderate/severe L4/L5 disc injury with severe neural stenosis
L6 fracture when 15 years old from diving injury (healed)
Foot drop:
Aug 2025: horseback riding trip (7 days long) no falls, just lots of riding; when travelling back home after her riding days, she notices her R foot stopped dorsiflexing - took 8 weeks to resolve
June 2026: foot drop came back when doing one sided lifting exercises
Neuro-surgeon said if not in severe pain, neurological recovery post surgery is 50/50 so don't risk surgery if not needed
What are your thoughts about treatment? With the severity of her disc issue, is electro-acupuncture going to help at all?
I see her sporadically so I haven’t been able to treat her appropriately. Stimulating the fibular nerve is incredibly uncomfortable on her, but we managed to do it the ...
Patient: 45 year old female
CC: Right side ASIS pain.
Symptoms: 7/10 throbbing pain at its worst, sometimes gone. Location is exactly at ASIS. Does disturb sleep. No other hip or LB injuries. Came on suddenly about 10 months ago. Does not recall what doing when first noticed.

Lower Body Extore:
Failed: right side TFL and Glut Med.
Other: I had her do a figure 4 to check if Satorius was in play and there was restriction on right side but no pain.
Treatment:
PSOAS pecking right (I did not note she failed that but maybe did not chart)
