The average person with NTOS will not get a correct diagnosis for 4-5 years.

Some will have unnecessary spinal fusion or cardiac procedures or be on pharmaceuticals for years that don't help. 
Here's what we need to do to help.

It's been a few years since I shared my protocol for treating low back pain.

The Achilles Tendon and the Plantar Fascia are connected anatomically by something they call the S-Link. 
Biomechanically they end up being very similar in how they get injured and how they should be treated for lasting results.

I removed last week's episode because I made too many errors in talking about red leads and black leads on e-stim devices.
 
This episode covers the difference between Direct Current and Alternating Current, the advantages of each and the safety reasons for Electric Stimulation Acupuncture devices to be AC Biphasic.
I talk about the differences between the Pointers, the ITO ES-130 and the Pantheon and a little about microcurrent.

For the most part, the research comparing Moti Physio to the gold standard EOS 3D X-ray was very good. There were a couple areas that were only rated at Fair and I have my opinion about why that was. 
Chiropractors may still need an X-ray before treatment, but then there's huge value to using Moti regularly (no radiation) for monitoring.
Here are my thoughts for Functional Acupuncturists after another week of using the Moti Physio.
The paper I looked at most was:
 
Validity and Reliability of a Non-Radiographic Postural AnalysisDevice Based on an RGB-Depth Camera Comparing EOS 3DImaging: A Prospective Observational Study
