New Directory Will Replace the Current EXSTORE One

Hi everyone,

Please note that tcmacufind.com will be the choice directory for EXSTORE practitioners going forward.

A one year listing is only $99.00, and there are a lot of advantages to this directory. For one, it will be provided to everyone who is looking for an EXSTORE practitioner. Second, it allows those who get certified in EXSTORE to list that and upload the PDF of their certification to their listing. There are other features that set this directory apart from others, and we’ll go over those on the live Zoom Wednesday March 31st.

Set up your listing on TCMacufind.com! Email me for with any questions or help in setting yours up: [email protected].

1) Pain at trigger point of TFL
2) L/ Hip Pain
3) Back Pain

So I have been treating him as meralgia parasthetica but I didnt originally due to avoidant answers of this patient and reports he kept bringing up.

Doctors originally wanted a fusion to lumbar area or a nerve ablation to the area. The doctors kept saying different things for this case whether it was hip, lower back, or front of the leg related.

After a few visits he mentioned a fuzzy feeling over the top of his leg which I feel guided me more to meralgia parasthetica.

Tx 1: Patient came in bent entirely over. His pain went from 10/10 to 3/10 1st visit treating the tight bands along TFL and doing Lower Perfusion since there was some bulging of the disc felt with doctors mentioning L2/L3/L4.

Manual Work: Slide Cupping from TFL down.

His pain ...

Well, i have seen her 8 times. She was coming 2x per week , for 3 weeks, now is coming weekly. She says her headaches are no longer present, and she said her facial pain is gone(I actually had to remind her that she was complaining of face pain and pressure). Well she seemed like she was getting better, and stating that her neck was feeling stiff and weird, but the sharp pain was better.
On feb 3nd she came in and said she had a really bad sharp , shooting pain, over the weekend. She said that the pain would come and go. I treated her and then she came back the same week on Friday, and said...
