Sometimes doing what‘s best for the patient will go against dogma and tradition. And sometimes leaning more on science than on dogma will ruffle feathers and contradict the gurus and scholars of Traditional Acupuncture. That‘s OK! There‘s room for many styles and there are enough patients for all of us! I graduated at the top of my class with a Master‘s and a Doctorate in Traditional Chinese Acupuncture. I know the benefits of Traditional Acupuncture for many many conditions. But if you want fast and excellent results treating chronic pain, sports injury, over-use injury, flexibility and mobility, that is what I‘m passionate about and I‘m not going to apologize for great results or for sharing what I‘ve learned from Western Medicine using Acupuncture. The topics here will not be controversial unless you insist on holding onto dogma instead of being open to something new to you and that is based in science.

Some Thoughts About Treating an Older Population
Sunday Oct 27, 2024
Sunday 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.

Mysterious Upper Mid-back Pain
Saturday Aug 31, 2024
Saturday Aug 31, 2024
It's not easy to treat a pain that the patient only feels at times when they are not in the clinic with you.
You have to go on their memory of where it hurts and what they are doing at that time.
On palpation there was no pain to reproduce. Length testing and muscle testing showed nothing.
I had to rely on Dr. Travell to figure it out.

He (or She) Who Treats the Site of Pain is Often Lost!
Saturday Aug 17, 2024
Saturday Aug 17, 2024
If you're sticking needles into the site of pain you're waving the flag of surrender.
If you know the cause of the pain, you should be getting good/great results in your first treatment and have it resolved or greatly improved very quickly soon after, in most cases.
If you are sticking needles into things where they hurt, you're likely missing the real cause of the problem.
Yes, I'm going to piss people off. But Janda and Lewit were right. "He who treats the site of pain is often lost"!
