I saw a new patient this week with posterior knee pain and his leg would internally rotate when he had been playing golf for a while.

It's not easy to treat a pain that the patient only feels at times when they are not in the clinic with you.
You have to go on their memory of where it hurts and what they are doing at that time.
On palpation there was no pain to reproduce. Length testing and muscle testing showed nothing.
I had to rely on Dr. Travell to figure it out.

If you're sticking needles into the site of pain you're waving the flag of surrender.
If you know the cause of the pain, you should be getting good/great results in your first treatment and have it resolved or greatly improved very quickly soon after, in most cases.
If you are sticking needles into things where they hurt, you're likely missing the real cause of the problem.
Yes, I'm going to piss people off. But Janda and Lewit were right. "He who treats the site of pain is often lost"!

I recently saw a discussion about treating the psoas with acupuncture techniques like fascial pecking on the abdomen, treating the segment, addressing other issues like the abdominals and core, distal points.
What should we do and why?
All of the above are good, but there are times when the motor point is essential. Here's my take.
Hint: it's a matter of muscle tone vs muscle shortening.

More gold from Dr. Trescot's book.
There are many ways to entrap the radial nerve. The ones we can address with acupuncture can respond very quickly.
Here's Dr. Trescot's Book on Amazon. (The Springer site has it for about $100 more than Amazon)

This is my favorite way to find hip dysfunction for people who have hip pain or for athletes who want to avoid injury and have better sports performance.

Just got back from Amsterdam. We had a great Congress. I'm discussing what you missed and then some details I wanted to mention about the Gluteus Minimus that you won't hear most of the time.
