• Double Crush Syndrome Misconceptions
    Jan 11 2025

    Double Crush Syndrome is mostly seen in the medical field as something rare that happens to people in an earthquake when a building collapses on them.

    In the world of successfully treating peripheral neuropathies with Functional Acupuncture it's helpful to take a less restrictive definition of Double Crush.

  • Functional Acupuncture and a Real Pain Case
    Jan 5 2025

    Why I'm calling my style of acupuncture Functional Acupuncture.

    Janda famously said that there are 2 schools of thought in musculoskeletal medicine. Stuctural and Functional. Most are still using the Structural approach (and our patients are paying the price - literally)

  • Trigger Points for Knee Pain
    Dec 30 2024

    The functional approach to knee pain will look for movement dysfunction and attempt to correct it.

    Others might blame arthritis, the patient's weight, L4-5 issues...

    I'm going to look at joint pain as an issue of how the joint moves.

  • Some Thoughts About Treating an Older Population
    Oct 27 2024

    Treating Seniors is a skill you need to learn and there are no books or courses to take.

    Treating Pro Athletes gets you some prestige but the true test of your assessment and treatment skills as an acupuncturist (as well as your people skills) will be in treating an older population with sub-optimal health statuses.
