For the side, laying levator scapula/supraspinatus, soft tissue release, when Dr. Anthony says to “lock your thumb or fingertips at the root of the spine of the scapula” is he referring to where I have my finger in the first picture or the second picture? I’m not really sure what “root of the scapula means”. I always thought that was in the neighborhood of SI 13 to BL 36/37. Thanks so much!

I have a patient with post herpatic neuralgia affecting his upper back and chest. I have been treating him 3x a week with the upper perfusion treatment, first at 2hz, then at about treatment 6 with mixed frequency from 2hz-100hz. I have treated him 8 or 9 times with no change. Should I be doing something different?
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.
