This clip from 2017 sums up one of the biggest issues we see when treating MSK and pain conditions with needles — and also the solution.
The problem is not the lack of different techniques.
The problem is knowing when to use them, why to use them, and when not to use them.
Motor points, trigger points, electroacupuncture, peripheral treatments, central nervous system approaches — all of these can be valuable.
But they are not interchangeable.
The real skill is understanding how to apply those techniques through the lens of neurology, assessment, and clinical reasoning.
That means identifying what type of problem is actually in front of you, determining the most appropriate treatment strategy, and then reassessing to see whether you actually changed what you intended to change.

There’s two spots left and there’s nothing that can replace this intensive learning experience . You will treat over 60 patients in two days. There’s nothing else like it and no other instructor anywhere in the world is offering anything close to this.
