This clip from 2017 sums up one of the biggest issues we see when treating MSK and pain conditions with needles — and also the solution.

The problem is not the lack of different techniques.

The problem is knowing when to use them, why to use them, and when not to use them.

Motor points, trigger points, electroacupuncture, peripheral treatments, central nervous system approaches — all of these can be valuable.

But they are not interchangeable.

The real skill is understanding how to apply those techniques through the lens of neurology, assessment, and clinical reasoning.

That means identifying what type of problem is actually in front of you, determining the most appropriate treatment strategy, and then reassessing to see whether you actually changed what you intended to change.

That is the difference between simply performing a technique and treating with precision.

And that is exactly what the EXSTORE™ Orthopedic System is built to teach.

EXSTORE gives practitioners a complete, ...

Anthony chronicled his 51-patient day.

No matter how many patients you want to see, how many days a week you want to work, whatever your goals are...EXSTORE™ gives you the ability to see more patients in less time while getting even better results.

You can see as many patients as you want if you learn the Exstore system to the level that you master it. And the best way to master it is come to the clinical intensive this October. There’s two spots left and there’s nothing that can replace this intensive learning experience . You will treat over 60 patients in two days. There’s nothing else like it and no other instructor anywhere in the world is offering anything close to this.

There is a free webinar today at 1pm

Happy Birthday Dr. Lombardi!! 🎉 I hope you have an amazing birthday! I’m so grateful for everything I’ve learned from you over the years. Wishing you lots of happiness, health, and many more great years ahead!

I have a patient with right hip pain, particularly getting in and out of truck or stepping over his motorcycle. Patient was in a severe motor accident and sustained 28 fractures of the pelvis. Has 5 7.5 inch screws through the pelvis to hold together.

Used Exstore and got some strength back to the muscles that were weak, but still weakness resisted hip flexion. Psoas and adductors resting strong. Has responded well to estim, but wondering if this should also be a patient to use perfusion on at this point? And what realistic outcome should we suspect? Got him down to a 4/10 from a 7/10 and pain goes to a 2/10 for a couple days following treatment but then returns to a 4/10

Thank you for any advice!
