Solutions are the accumulation of small actions — acupuncture. I treat various musculoskeletal conditions, so you can enjoy doing what you love without pain.
@JimmyLiaoMD I would have used few points personally, but my particular method errs on less in more, with some exceptions. I'm curious to know what hertz they were using, but I'd guess a lower frequency 2-10 Hz, which target beta fibers to interrupt pain signals and release endorphins.
@JimmyLiaoMD I agree with the other assessments, seems to focus on a medial joint issue: MCL, meniscus. The points selected coincide with the some traditional acupuncture points, which are also key structures like vas med and vas lat, as well as the peroneus longus.

Dr. Samantha Kleinberg, the lead researcher on the project. “Our study suggests that doctors really do judge patients harshly if they share information or beliefs that they disagree with.”
Aerobic exercise protects the brain from the age-related loss of myelin, which is crucial for efficient communication between neurons and maintaining cognitive clarity.
In a new study, higher fitness levels were strongly linked to better myelin integrity in the brain across nearly all of the brain regions studied, with those in poor fitness showing worse myelination.
This relationship was more robust in middle-aged and older adults, emphasizing the critical role of fitness in preserving brain health as we age.
Additionally, people with higher fitness levels, as indicated by a higher VO2 max, experienced slower myelin degradation, with the highest VO2 max linked to a peak in myelination around age 41. In contrast, those with a low VO2 max showed rapid demyelination, with their myelin levels peaking before age 22.
While this study shows an association, not causation, the broader evidence supports the idea that improving fitness can enhance overall brain health.
The best way to improve fitness? Exercise, particularly high-intensity interval training or HIIT. We know it’s good for the body, and accumulating evidence suggests that it’s indispensable for brain health too.

“The chunk of the premium footed by employees rose more than 3% this year to nearly $5K/worker (more than the five-year average annual hike of about 1%). Nearly half of employers said they’re likely to shift rising costs onto their workers next year.”

“See a chiropractor, physio, massage therapist regularly to help recovery. Other ways that can help speed up recovery – sauna, cold tub or contrast bath, red light therapy, hyperbaric chamber, PEMF therapy, dry needling.”
a 2021 survey of medical schools in the U.S. and U.K., published in the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, found that most students receive an average of 11 hours of nutrition training throughout an entire medical program.

As much as I try to be concise, in some circumstances it's more important to be thorough. The answer to the question is not a simple "yes or no". More often it's a "yes and also." Despite modern medicine's paradigm, the body is not a bunch of independent lego parts stuck together
musculoskeletal pain. That can be something the patient does in office or at home. Having sustained and rehabilitated a number of injuries myself, I will often demonstrate these to the patient before they leave and send a PDF for them to follow.
@NEefsting61133 @AnimalLoverHub@Rainmaker1973 You do realize that many popular pharmaceuticals are derived from plants right?

A common question I get from patients is "how soon can I return to / is it safe to do [insert activity]. Generally speaking, you should take a break from the activity that caused the injury, or make these three modifications:
"The road back to play after an injury is a long and winding one. Before you can even consider returning to exercise, you need to reduce swelling, get pain under control and get your range of motion back to almost normal." #acupuncture#rehab#injuŕyrecovery
