Chronic Pain Patient with symptoms of an Ilioinguinal Nerve Entrapment

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.

My Thoughts about Electric Stimulation of Motor Points - the Why and How and How Long

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.

Superficial Peroneal Nerve Entrapment - Dorsal Foot Numbness

Sometimes that low leg pain and numbness is an entrapment of the superficial peroneal nerve. It's not always an L5-S1 radiculopathy. 

Pain on plantar flexion and inversion can be a sign of superficial peroneal nerve entrapment.
