My wife just suffered an open fracture due to a workplace accident.
What precautions should I keep in mind during treatment once she’s been helped and released from hospital?
I’ll be going through what I usually do in such cases:
- restore function to local muscles
- Evil Bone Water and TDP
- perfusion
- soft tissue work
My concern is whether there’s an appropriate timeline for any of these. For example, is pain relief and hemodynamics/fluid dynamics a main focus early while avoiding motor points?
Is there a waiting period before doing any motor points?
Etc.
TIA!
Thank you to @susan_beck for showing me this
Neat little feature on the Locals Phone app.

Spring is coming… eventually. And when it does, runners will start emerging again, not just the die-hards who have been braving the cold all winter. I treat a whole spectrum of runners in clinic, from Ironman athletes to weekend joggers and everything in between. This webinar is an absolute goldmine, and I hope you get as much out of it as I have.
Aloha team!🌈
I met one of our online buddies, Erica B, at a seminar in AZ. She came up and said hi, thanking me for help I’d provided here a while back.
Hopefully you all are getting to meet up or run into each other randomly IRL. Please say hi and throw me a shaka if we ever cross paths 🤙🏼
Vascular TOS, anyone? I have a good friend (male, 45 yo) who was developing blood clots in his arm and underwent 1st rib removal surgery 5 years ago. Recently he was hospitalized with another blood clot. MDs are divided as to what to do (re-route his jugular, for example). I'm wondering if there's anything I can offer him acupuncturally to help prevent clots regardless of whatever else he's doing. (He's now on blood thinners.) @Exstoreman have you ever treated a vascular form of TOS?
@Exstoreman I now have several patients with L4-L5 herniation and drop foot and/or leg-foot nerve pain. Some of them are making good progress, others not so much.
Should I be doing soft tissue work around L4-L5 and/or elsewhere?
And you previously mentioned there's a way to use gua sha effectively for this (since I have hand/wrist injury), can you describe that?
