Anthony was treating an ultra-marathoner named Ryan, who just finished a 163 km run to raise money. Ryan ran 163km straight and Anthony treated him at all hours along the way to keep him going.
Well, that resulted in a lot of video footage and now this will become a part of a new webinar for Locals Supporters this month! Anthony will talk about how he treated Ryan before the race to get him ready and what he did during the run to keep him going. He will add a PPT and Ryan will also be on for the Q&A!
This will result in the May Locals Webinar being all about this, with video of the actual event and Anthony treating him. PLUS, Ryan will be on one of the LIVE Q&A session too!
Stay tuned and watch your email for updates!

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

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 ...
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.
