The Acupuncture Outsider Podcast

Orthopedic Acupuncturists need to do better than the MDs most people have seen for pain.
These are my favorite MDs who have taught me much of what I know today.
I believe this is all essential knowledge. Joint Pain, Myofascial Pain and Peripheral Nerve Pain. How to assess and treat.

The handful of acupuncture educators who are teaching motor points and trigger points to people who want to work with professional athletes are able to successfully screen for movement dysfunction, manual muscle test and treat the injury with good results. 
Can we do better than just treating once a muscle is in trouble?
Can we increase sports performance and avoid injuries? Of course!
But who's teaching how to treat for more power, agility and strength and how to avoid injury? That's the dream. When we are seen as a possible unfair advantage against other teams I'll feel we have attained our full potential as sports acupuncturists.

Myofascial pain leaves so many people in chronic pain. Knowing how to locate active trigger points and deactivate them with dry needling is essential for anyone who wants fast and lasting results for chronic pain and for athletes.
 
Sorry for the sound issues. I'm working out some microphone setting issues.
