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!
What do you do when a clinical case leaves you scratching your head?
This webinar explores the clinical mindset needed to navigate challenging and complex cases without becoming overwhelmed. Rather than falling back on old habits or ineffective approaches, you’ll learn a structured progression of clinical thinking that can guide your decision-making, no matter how difficult the presentation may seem.
The goal isn’t to have all the answers. It’s to develop a reliable framework for thinking through the problem, staying adaptable, and moving forward with confidence when the case in front of you doesn’t fit neatly into the box.
Live Lab afterwards! Resistration is required.

Does anyone have experience treating spasmodic dystonia of the vocal cords? I just saw this patient for the first time. She's a singer and speaker. Gradual onset after COVID or after the COVID shot. She's not sure. I treated the tight muscles of the SCM as well as points for the vagus nerve. Then in prone did a perfusion treatment of her neck from UB 10 to T-1. I suggested her seeing a neurologist to rule out Parkinsons. She's also on a statin for high calcium (not for high cholesterol) She's 67 and has a healthy lifestyle. Thanks in advance!
Posting for Lolane.
Patient: 68-year-old female
Chief Complaint:
• Left-sided periorbital neuralgia for approximately 2 years.
• No history of trauma or identifiable mechanism of onset.
Symptoms:
• Random, sharp “zapping” sensations both superior and inferior to the left orbit.
• Episodes are brief but frequent and bothersome.
• Pain can occur spontaneously without any apparent trigger.
Mechanical Triggers:
Palpation or light touch can reliably reproduce symptoms in several areas, including:
• Along the nasolabial fold
• Frontal sinus/supraorbital region
• Above the left eye
Activities of daily living that commonly trigger the pain include:
• Washing her face
• Touching her face
• Brushing her teeth
• Rubbing alongside her nose
• Occasionally blinking
Treatment Attempted:
Thus far I have tried:
• Upper quarter perfusion techniques
• Temporalis treatment
• Facial nerve treatment
• Motor point needling of the periocular musculature
• Craniosacral therapy
• Fascial release of ...
