Acute Open Fracture

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!

Bilateral arm pain and neuropathy

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.

Patient Case: Meralgia Paresthetica

I had a new patient come in yesterday (63 years old, female) with complaints of burning, numbness, and hot pain in the lateral portion of her right thigh for 5 years. She says it's always there but doesn't cause pain or disrupt her lifestyle so she lives with it. She was also VERY sensitive in that area to touch. She has no history of spine issues. She is active and exercises 5-6x/week, primarily walking and running.

Lower exstore scan revealed weakness in bilateral psoas, which I restored using the pointer plus. Not sure if its related to the case, but she is active so i knew it would benefit her anyway.

I did some local needles on motor points of the quadriceps which was VERY sensitive for her. She could not tolerate needles on that leg, but everywhere else was fine. Since I already had her in that position, I did distal and auricular points. I finished up with light gua sha to draw blood to the area.

After doing research, I found what she is describing is Meralgia Paresthetica. This ...
