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.

Most likely your doctor looks at your pain as a structural issue. i.e. Joint inflammation needs an anti-inflammatory.
Unless you need a surgical intervention, Janda would have seen your pain as a functional problem. Your sensorimotor system is having problems.
This is why I'm 100% in the Janda camp and why it gets such great, lasting results.

There are some new devices for Restless Leg Syndrome that use electric stimulation to stimulate the afferent nerves of the low leg.
What's the connection to the Superficial Peroneal Nerve and Restless Leg? I'm not sure, but I'm willing to start treating patients with this in mind.
Also, some updates on tough nerve entrapment cases.

Chronic Pain Patient with symptoms of an Ilioinguinal Nerve Entrapment
Saturday Apr 27, 2024
Saturday Apr 27, 2024
Recognizing symptoms of peripheral nerve entrapment is critical for chronic pain patients who have gotten no relief from the usual standard of care and diagnostic exams.
When you know the symptoms, you can rule in or out a peripheral nerve entrapment and then palpate the typical entrapment zones to confirm you are on the right track.

People often ask questions about how to use electric stimulation of an acupuncture needle in the motor point of a muscle. They want to know why and how and for how long.
I attempt to give some answers based on what I have seen. There are so many opinions about it that I thought it would be best to give you the basic explanation that has worked well for me. If you're happy with your results, that's what you should do.
I leave it to others to dispute the minutiae of frequencies and points and length of treatment.
