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.

Isn't it likely that osteoarthritis is due to unaddressed muscle imbalances?
It seems to be the case clinically. This is a case from this past week of an 87 year old woman with constant knee pain that has her now in a wheelchair.

I think that learning a subject from the source material, research, science has been the key to getting excellent results for me.
I think when you learn a "system" from someone, you are limited by their system, especially if they don't share their source material so that you can keep learning.

Gua Sha is soft tissue manipulation but all not all soft tissue manipulation is Gua Sha.
There is a difference and here's what it is.

A patient with a diagnosis of Plantar Fasciitis will have different symptoms from the last one you saw with the same diagnosis and different from the next as well.
We need to think about foot biomechanics, nerves, the plantar aponeurosis and we need to know specifically where the patient is having pain.

Entrapment of the superior cluneal nerve can be a source of chronic low back pain, especially after lumbar disc surgery.
It can be a source of psuedo-sciatica as well.
