Guest guest Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Anyone have experience with this? I have a patient who is presenting with this after a botched left knee surgery. She is very livery. Also has IBS, planter faciatis on the right foot due to her now uneven gait, hot flashes, on HRT,many problems with her ears. Wiry/Slippery pulse, floating in the heart position, thready in the kidney yang position. Tongue is slightly purple/normal, thin white coat to slightly yellow, small teethmarks. I have had some success with needling right into the area, using light e-stim and moxa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 I treated a patient last spring with the 'worst case of RSD' (in her wrist)that her surgeon had ever seen. Each treatment consisted of a root treatment (either 5 phase or Manaka) and then a 'local' treatment which simply consisted of massaging and then needling SP-21. This is an approach mentioned in Kiiko Matsumoto's Clinical Strategies Vol.I (Thanks to Mike Bowser who pointed this out to me). This treatment was incredibly successful. While massaging/needling Sp-21 the patient would report that her hand felt lighter and would immediately have greater ROM. At the end of each treatment the patient felt significantly better and within about 10 treatments the patient was at least 80% better. If you use this approach it would be best to read Kiiko's book. It is not enough to simply find SP-21 based on a point location definition and expect results. It is absolutely critical to find the 'live' point.
