Chief Complaint: Frozen Shoulder

History of Present Illness: The patient presents with complaints of left shoulder pain, which commenced in late January. He reports experiencing sharp pain and restricted movement in the left shoulder. Initial assessments by a physiotherapist suggested a diagnosis of frozen shoulder. Diagnostic investigations including ultrasound and X-ray were conducted, followed by a consultation with a specialist who administered steroid injections. However, the patient experienced limited improvement following these interventions. Subsequently, upon recommendation from a friend, the patient sought acupuncture therapy.

Medical History: Notable medical history includes a recent onset of left shoulder pain and limited mobility. No significant past medical conditions reported.

Clinical Examination Findings:

1. Neurological Examination:
   • Left arm reflex diminished compared to the right.
   • Left arm sensory perception altered, described as dull.
   • Muscle power in the left arm within normal limits.
2. Musculoskeletal Examination:
   • Increased tenderness noted in the area beneath the left collarbone, with radiating pain extending down the left arm.

Diagnosis: Based on the clinical presentation and examination findings, the working diagnosis is Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) secondary to brachial plexus injury. Notably, the patient’s symptoms are consistent with neuralgia, and the observed tenderness and sensory alterations point towards TOS, particularly at the point between the collarbone and first rib.

Discussion:

1. Evaluation of Frozen Shoulder: Considering the patient’s history and prior assessments indicating a diagnosis of frozen shoulder, it is essential to reassess the clinical presentation comprehensively. While frozen shoulder remains a consideration, the presence of additional symptoms, such as hand color changes and sensory disturbances, suggests a more complex pathology beyond isolated adhesive capsulitis.
2. Differential Diagnosis: Given the lack of significant improvement following conventional treatments for frozen shoulder and the emergence of atypical symptoms, alternative diagnoses, such as neuralgia or TOS, warrant thorough investigation.

Management Plan:

1. Acupuncture Therapy: Initiation of acupuncture therapy aimed at addressing pain management and promoting musculoskeletal function in the affected shoulder.
2. Specialist Referral: Immediate referral to a neurological specialist for further evaluation and imaging studies, including CT scans of the neck and chest, to delineate the extent of brachial plexus involvement and confirm the diagnosis of TOS.
3. Multidisciplinary Approach: Emphasis on a collaborative approach involving various medical disciplines to ensure comprehensive management of the patient’s condition.

Follow-Up: The patient is scheduled for regular follow-up appointments to monitor treatment response, adjust therapeutic interventions as necessary, and address any emerging concerns or symptoms.

Conclusion: In summary, the presented case underscores the importance of a thorough clinical assessment and consideration of differential diagnoses in challenging cases such as this. By adopting a multidisciplinary approach and individualizing treatment strategies, optimal outcomes can be achieved in the management of complex musculoskeletal conditions.

My opinions

1, How should a therapist think of the case when you meet a patient who says he has a frozen shoulder, shoulder pain, and limited movement of the shoulder, The Ultrasound report was inflammation and tendon swelling, the specialist did a steroid injection, and the patient has done physiotherapy for his frozen shoulder. I mean it is a frozen shoulder from every evidence. I dare say that we will do treatments based on frozen shoulders over 95% of therapists.

2, We will get the same results like these therapists who did physiotherapy and injection if we will do treatments for his frozen shoulder. It will get worse and worse, because it is not real frozen shoulder. I do know the fact that it is not real frozen shoulder as his hand has color changes and has numbness in the left arm when he has a severe shoulder pain.

3, We know it is a neuralgia from brachial plexus injury, because we found his arm feels dull,  reflex is lower, and the Tinel’s sign positive. in generally, there are three injury points for a brachial plexus injury. They are, scalene muscle point, the point between collarbone with first rib, and pectoralis minor point. There is a more tender point under the left collarbone, and the tenderness radiates to the left arm, so it is a Thoracic outlet syndrome (the point between collarbone and first rib) for this case.

4, Why do I think it is not real frozen shoulder? First, his hand color changes when he have a severe shoulder pain; Second, there was not good results after physiotherapy and injection, and it got worse and worse.

5, Especially for difficult cases, we will get some important information from case history and physical examination. Then carefully ask the patient, and do every kind of test. Then get a correct diagnosis, and do the correct treatment.

6, I have discussed with the patient. At the moment we do two steps at the same time, one way is doing acupuncture, another way, he will see a neurological specialist and do CT scans in neck and chest.

4, pain in the right hamstring and knee| walk with a limp| sciatica | common peroneal nerve injury | Auckland acupuncture clinic

 

Chief Complaint: Sciatica

History of Present Illness: The patient reports experiencing symptoms of sciatica for the past three weeks. Despite seeking medical attention, including consultations with a physician and physiotherapist and undergoing pain management with analgesics, there has been limited improvement. Following the recommendation of the family doctor, the patient is scheduled to undergo a lumbar MRI for further evaluation.

Clinical Assessment and Findings: Upon examination, the patient presents with a noticeable limp and complains of persistent pain radiating down the right leg. Notably, the patient exhibits weakness in dorsiflexion of the right foot and reports a dull sensation in the superior lateral region of the right lower leg.

Diagnosis and Differential Considerations: Based on the clinical presentation and examination findings, the working diagnosis is common peroneal nerve injury, specifically entrapment in the popliteal fossa lateral groove. Differential considerations include lumbar spine pathology, lumbosacral plexus issues, and traditional sciatica; however, the absence of typical signs associated with lumbar disc herniation or lumbosacral plexus injury supports the likelihood of a peripheral nerve entrapment.

Discussion:

1. Neurological Examination:
   • Weakness in dorsiflexion of the right foot.
   • Dull sensation reported in the superior lateral region of the right lower leg.
2. Diagnostic Implications:
   • Contrary to conventional treatment approaches for sciatica, which often focus on lumbar spine interventions, the examination findings suggest a peripheral nerve entrapment, specifically affecting the common peroneal nerve.
3. Differential Diagnosis Rationale:
   • Notable absence of hypoalgesia in the superior lateral region of the right lower leg rules out entrapment within the peroneal tube, supporting the diagnosis of entrapment in the popliteal fossa lateral groove.

Treatment Plan:

1. Nerve Relaxation Method: Initiation of a targeted treatment approach, utilizing needle nerve relaxation method to address common peroneal nerve entrapment in the popliteal fossa lateral groove.
2. Symptomatic Management: Provision of pain management strategies to alleviate symptoms and improve functional mobility pending further diagnostic confirmation.
3. Referral and Imaging: Continued coordination with the specialist for lumbar MRI imaging to rule out concurrent lumbar spine pathology and ensure comprehensive evaluation of contributing factors.

Follow-Up: The patient is scheduled for follow-up appointments to assess treatment response, monitor symptom progression, and adjust management strategies as necessary.

Conclusion: In summary, the presented case underscores the importance of meticulous clinical assessment and consideration of differential diagnoses in the evaluation of sciatica-like symptoms. By adopting a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment, optimal outcomes can be achieved in addressing peripheral nerve entrapment and associated symptoms.

A short video is for people who cannot watch the You tube.

What do you do in this situation for the patient, his doctor and physiotherapist did treatments, but he still has more pain in the leg and walks with a limp, and a specialist suggested he will do a Lumbar MRI. maybe many acupuncturists will do acupuncture based on sciatica with a lumbar problem, putting needles in the lower back, and leg.

For me, I will do a physical examination, especially a neurological exam, regardless of what the family doctor or specialist thinks. I will get my diagnosis in Western medicine through my exam and symptoms. I found these positive signs, dorsiflexion of the right foot is weakness, and dull feeling in the superior lateral of the right lower leg, so I do not think it is a lumbar spine, lumbosacral plexus problem, or sciatica.

There rarely is a dropped foot if it is a lumbar spine disc problem, because it is a solo nerve root injury; not only they have the weakness of the dorsiflexion of the foot, but they also have the weakness of the plantar flexion of the foot if it is lumbar spine disc or lumbosacral plexus injury. In this case, it has only the weakness of the dorsiflexion of the right foot. so I think it is a common peroneal nerve injury.

For the common peroneal nerve entrapment, there are two types of entrapments, one is in the peroneal tube, which is very common in the clinical, another one is in the Popliteal fossa lateral groove.

    Lateral groove and peroneal tube

It does not have the hypoalgesia in the superior lateral of the right lower leg if the common peroneal nerve entrapment level is in the peroneal tube, for this case, I will not think it is a common peroneal nerve entrapment because there is a hypoalgesia superior lateral of the right lower leg.

the sensation of the superior lateral of the right lower leg is controlled by the Lateral sural cutaneous nerve which is divided from the common peroneal never over the peroneal tube. for this case, it has lateral sural cutaneous never injury and the common peroneal never injury, so the level of never entrapment is over the peroneal tube.

So, I think the entrapment level is in the popliteal fossa lateral groove, for this case, there is more tenderness in the area when I did the pressure. and the patient felt very well after the first session of the needle nerve relaxation method.

What do you think? hope to get your opinions!

Patient’s review in our Google Map

My opinions

1, What do we think about MRI results?

MRI shows left lumbar spine L4L5 disc Hernia， there are pain in the left lower back and leg, numbness in the left lower leg, and weakness in the left leg if it is a disc hernia, but for the case, lower back pain in both side, radiates to both thighs, he does not feel the left lower leg pain and numbness. I can not think it is a lumbar spine disc hernia. for example, if only a headache, let the patient do an MRI of the lumbar spine, we think the headache is due to the lumbar spine disc hernia if the MRI shows L5L4disc hernia. in the clinical, we can see many patients who do not feel symptoms, but the MRI shows a lumbar spine disc hernia.

2， Why don’t the practitioners do a general physical exam?

I will do a physical examination, especially the neurological exam. In this case, I found that the knee-tendon reflex is normal, and the straight leg raise test negative, but the areas of L1-L2, S3-S4 are not sharper. these examinations do not support the diagnosis of the lumbar disc hernia. why his practitioners do not do physical examinations?

3, What did I think of it from my general neurological examination?

there is only damage to the 3 cutaneous nerves ( superior gluteal cutaneous nerve, middle gluteal cutaneous nerve, Inferior gluteal cutaneous nerve, and femoral nerve cutaneous branch）from examination, he fell on the land, sprained the lower back muscle, muscle spasm damage the cutaneous nerves, the sharp pain in the lower back, 4 steroid injections are in the deep of lower back for the root of nerves, so the injections are unuseful.

4, what kind of ways is the acupuncture?

He had acupuncture twice, and 95% of the pain disappeared. His waist felt stronger and he walked normally. If it is a lumbar disc herniation, acupuncture should be ineffective, and even 4 injections of steroids show no improvement. So I thought it was a muscle injury, and then the cutaneous nerve was compressed. Acupuncture relaxes the muscles and then relaxes the compressed nerves, so the back pain disappears.

This case record demonstrates the efficacy of acupuncture in treating chronic rhinitis, providing relief from persistent block nose and enhancing overall well-being without resorting to surgical intervention.

 

My opinions: When it comes to rhinitis, everyone will think of Western medicine and traditional Chinese herbal medicine, but they will never think of acupuncture. In fact, acupuncture is the most effective. I have been practicing Chinese medicine for decades and finally discovered that acupuncture can treat rhinitis. 

acupuncture for rhinitis, we use a special needle that is big and sharp (we call it a mini-knife needle), and a special point which is not the traditional point, is found by a modern person).

the special acupuncture method can help the rhinitis but also help the other alleged problems in the facial area, such as eye red and itch, ear pain and itch, and mouth and throat try and itch.

Her bowel habits were normal, but her faecal calprotectin levels remained elevated at 392 mcg/g on multiple occasions despite normal results from previous blood work (FBC, CRP, ferritin, vitamin B12, folate, TSH, and coeliac serology).

Initial Assessments: The patient underwent simultaneous gastroscopy and colonoscopy to investigate her symptoms further.

GASTROSCOPY Findings:

• Tolerance of the procedure was good, with minor discomfort upon passage into the duodenum.
• Z-line located at 36 cm.
• Minor and major polyps identified in gastric regions, appearing normal.
• Biopsies taken from gastric antrum, gastric body, and duodenum for histological examination.

COLONOSCOPY Findings:

• Bowel preparation satisfactory with good visualization up to terminal ileum.
• Straightforward intubation with good patient tolerance.
• Normal rectal examination with a 2 mm polyp identified in distal ascending colon, removed via cold snare technique for histological analysis.
• Slight increase in vascular pattern noted in upper sigmoid colon.
• Biopsies obtained from ileum, caecum, ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid colon, and rectum for histology to assess for microscopic inflammation.

Diagnostic Impressions:

1. Normal Gastroscopy
2. Diminutive Ascending Colon Polyp (Histologically revealed focal active colitis with mucosal granuloma)
3. Possible Mild Inflammation in Upper Sigmoid Colon

Follow-up and Treatment Plan:

• Given the findings, the patient was scheduled for a repeat colonoscopy in 5 years to monitor for any new polyps.
• No clear cause for elevated faecal calprotectin or abdominal pain identified during the initial assessment.

Follow-up Report:

• The patient was started on Pentasa 3000-4000 mg/day due to suspected chronic inflammatory bowel disease, suggestive of Crohn’s disease based on histological findings and faecal calprotectin levels.
• Despite mild nausea and right lower quadrant pain post-procedure, symptoms spontaneously resolved, leading to the patient’s discharge on the same day.

27/11/2022 patient left a review in the our google business.

she can feel pain in right lower abdomen, and 95% improvement in the left up abdomen after 5 sessions treatments.

【my opinion about the case】

1), just depending on the【FOLLOW-UP TO GASTROSCOPY & COLONOSCOPY REPORT】, then diagnosis the Crohn’s disease. whether next time it would be diagnosed after a repeat colonoscopy in 5 years to check for  a mucosal granuloma and faecal calprotectin .

I am writing by way of follow-up to my gastroscopy and colonoscopy report
As you know the gastroscopy was normal including gastric and duodenal biopsies. The colonoscopy revealed are diminutive polyp in the ascending colon which on histology revealed a focal active colitis with a mucosal granuloma (i.e. not a true polyp). There was a very slight increase in vascular pattern in the sigmoid colon. The ileal, transverse colon and rectal biopsies were normal but interestingly the biopsies from the ascending, descending and sigmoid colons all are longer of 5 lobular showed mild chronic colitis with paneth cell metaplasia although there was no increase in chronic inflammatory
cells.
The histological findings in the colon correlate well with her elevated faecal calprotectin of 392ug/g and are suggestive of chronic inflammatory bowel disease. The distribution is suggestive of Crohn’s disease rather than ulcerative colitis.

2), she has not the symptom of the Crohn’s disease EXCEPT the abdomen pain. such as diarrhea, blood in stool, nonreasoned fever, nonreasoned, weight lost.

3), the treatment’s effective is very good, no right lower abdomen pain after 2 sessions, and 95% improvement in the left up abdomen after 5 sessions treatments.

4), I had a examination in the her fist visit me, I found that there are pressing pain beside the spine and there are the sensitive area with needle in the left up abdomen and the right lower abdomen. (please see the above the video).

5), she started the Pentasa 3000mg to 4000mg a day, after being diagnosed the Crohn’s Disease, but it’s the side effect was too bad, so she did not take it.

Her first appointment.

 

The message from the patient after treatment.

it is her review in our google map.

I did acupuncture and explanation, which made her mind and stomach relaxation, made qi circulation of liver and stomach  flowing normal,  then she felt much better.

Simple issues did complicated treatment, which could not help the problem , but made it worse and worse.

34, She had the severe knee pain for 2.5 years and be performed arthroscopy with lateral patellar release.

She wrote the email which required me whether I can help her severe pain in 19/10/2021.

She had the first appointment in 24/10/2021. I did examinations.

Her right leg is small, thin and shorter than the left.  she has had this from birth and thinks it is polio. She had reconstructive surgery on her foot to help her gait. She has always been walking with a bad limp on the right leg. She is full-time looking after her six month old baby.

I checked her knees MRI, it reported that her knee ligaments, meniscus, cartridge, kneecap ware normal. however the Suprapatellar fat pad was mild edema and subcutaneous tissues was mild edema..

She had a arthroscopy of the left knee with lateral patellar release in 13/08/2021. She felt more pain on the left knee. She had a bad sleep with severe pain. So the Orthopedic Surgeon doctor thought it was regional pain syndrome.

I thank that she has the soft tissue inflammation of knees, but it is not the reason of the severe left knee pain. the knee pain can be neuralgia due to the unbalance of legs.

I did the second treatment for her in 31/10/2021. she told me the the pain relief from 10/10 to 8/10

and today I do the third treatment in (07/11/2021). She feels much better, the knee pain relief lots from 10 /10 to 4/10. Need not strong  painkillers. And Sleep is very well .

35, the patient has back pain for half year , finally finding the right way after waiting for more than two months

Our acupuncturists wear Full PPE under Covid-19 Leve3

the patient sprained his the lower back while lifting heavy things, and the pain was not tolerated. He went to do treatments more than 20 times, and he got better, but still there was still severe pain on the right lower back. he could not sit on chair for a long time, he  wake up due to the pain at night. he Quit up his job because of the severe low back pain. he made an appointment with us before the lockdown of Auckland for Covid-19, unfortunately  the sudden level 4 lockdown in Auckland disrupted his treatment plan in our clinic.

During the lockdown period, I gave him the guidance of self-healing treatment what we made.

The Acupuncture and Moxibustion Association(AcuNZ) emailed to us that we can reopen the clinic for treatment of urgent problems on last Monday. He made an appointment immediately for a treatment.

It is first day to open our clinic after two months lockdown of Auckland, he was our the first patient that day. After I heard of  his case history, I gave an examination and found that the left leg was obviously longer than the right leg, and the right leg had obvious external rotation. Look at below the photos.

I thought his lower back pain due to the unbalance pelvis, and I will used the TCM bone setting method for the main treatment, Look at the position of his two feet after one session treatment. 

after one session treatment, he could not feel the lower back pain while he sat up, bent over, and stretched his waist. we will Check out his feedback later.

update his situation in 25/10/2021. after three sessions TCM bone setting, no different between two legs, but still little pain on the right lower back. keeping treatment.

At present, the are many doctors, whether Chinese medicine doctors or Western medicine doctor, all for headaches to treat the head, feet pain to treat the feet, they do not look for the pain cause, and do not do even the most basic examination. for example low back pain, you should see where the pain is, whether it is joint pain, muscle pain, neuralgia, or fascial pain; is it a local problem in the waist, or a problem with internal organs; is it a problem with the lumbar spine and pelvis, or the whole body Rheumatic immune disease problem. As a TCM physician, we should know which way is the best way for the low back pain  which is acupuncture, cupping, chinese herbs, or bone setting. Therefore, it is a good doctor’s signs to be aware of what we talk about. why the TCM doctors could not help the patient’s lower back pain, they only know to do treatments, but did not know the real cause of the lower back pain ,which is a important aspect.

36, he is a deeply respectful man who I felt I could trust from the moment I walked through the door.

she left a review in google today 30/06/2021

I saw Dr Win after having ongoing nausea for around a year. The nausea was becoming very disruptive in my day-to-day life and while some medications were helpful, the side effects from them were oftentimes as undesirable as nausea itself.
I was booked in for an appointment with a neurologist after initial tests could not explain nausea, with the concern that chronic migraines from my childhood were returning. In an attempt to get some relief in the meantime I thought I’d try acupuncture and visited Dr Win.
Dr Win completely resolved nausea within a couple of sessions. I also noticed an improvement in my migraine aura that had lingered since late childhood.
Aside from Dr Win’s obvious mastery of acupuncture, he is a deeply respectful man who I felt I could trust from the moment I walked through the door.
I feel lucky to have met Dr Win, and would recommend him eagerly to others.

she has migraine since 13 years old, but she has a permanent aura, and she feels bad nausea and gaging for one year. she had one session treatment (acupuncture, cupping and herbs) in 02/06/2021, then nausea, aura is gone, completely disappear. today (13/06/2021)she come to do second treatment.

38,  One case of the severe pain on the right liver area with acupuncture

Her daughter called me, and said that she has had the severe pain on the right liver area for one week, she lived in hospital for three days, did ultrasound, CT , Gastroscopy, and blood test, urine test, nothing was found, doctor just painkillers and antibiotics, but still had severe pain, could not sleep very well, at final, doctor gave her the morphine to stopping the pain. Her daughter’s friend recommended me to her, so trying acupuncture. She made an appointment in 20/04/2021.

she came to see me, but she could not sit on chair due to the pain, could not stand straight, and must press the right liver area with the right hand to reduce the pain.

Examination found, that there were a sensitive skin area in the right liver area, when punching with needle.

I thought she suffered from the Intercostal neuralgia.

I did acupuncture and cupping on her back

after two sessions her pain from 10 to 2, sleep is very well , no more painkillers. Her daughter have review in our google business.

she just has a visit visa, she was cost lots of money in hospital, her daughter has not enough money for acupuncture,  so her daughter’s friend will pay her treatment fees, I gave her promise  I will free treatment for her in last several sessions.

oue opinion:

firstly, it is important to do examinations such as ultrasound, CT in diagnosis, but doctor’s hand examination is more important. Just punctured in pain area with needle,  we can find the important information and sign.

second, our clinic is a business, but we can do treatments for some who have not enough money.

finally, believe me Chinese medicine can help many difficult cases who can not help in hospital. We do it every day in our clinic.

Why acupuncture can help her bursitis?

She had right shoulder pain for three months, the pain radiates to the right neck, she had injection in the right shoulder, but still dull pain and stiffness on the right shoulder, and limited movement of the right shoulder, more pain while moving the right shoulder. She fell much better, no pain and stiffness on the right shoulder, no limited movement of shoulder, after 4 sessions acupuncture. So she made a review on our google business map.

Firstly, acupuncture can make a muscle relaxing on the right shoulder. So there is a good blood circulation on the right shoulder, so getting good recovery.

Second, bursitis make the burst swelling, there is a higher pressure in bursts, putting needle in the bursts, make the pressure less, so pain reduce and recovery is faster.

Third, putting needle in the burst, make a new injury in the bursitis, let our body to heal old and new injury itself.

interview with me today

he has suffered from facial paralysis (Bell’s palsy)for 6 months. After being the problem for one and a half months, the facial muscles could not move at all. After two months of treatment, the recovery was relatively slow, and the recovery was very rapid in the past two months, with almost no facial paralysis. keeping doing a few months of treatment,it will not only test the patient’s patience, but also test the patient’s financial ability. The patient lives in Waiheke Island, he will takes a ferry to Auckland every day, and then drives to the clinic. It takes three or four hours to come to do acupuncture every time. Even I admire also the patient’s persistence. In any case, the patient’s persistence paid off. share with friends!

43, You know what kind of skin problem it’s?

 

Do you know what kind of skin problems it is?

It is due to the electric blanket, the patient has used it for several months, and every night.

She saw me three months ago, but I did know her skin problems reason. She had seen her doctor and specialist, nothing changed.

I suddenly thought some patients use hot bottles to reduce the stomach pain, the stomach skin will change to black and dry, maybe her skin has some reason, so she told me she used an electric blanket for several months and every night, I wanted her to stop the electric blanket three weeks ago.

Today She sees me and shows me her skin, it is a big difference between the two photos. Shared with friends. Thanks

44，She would like to resume a normal healthy life again hence our help would be much appreciated

 

45，One case of shoulder injury of full-thickness tear of the supraspinatus tendon

I ruptured a tendon in my shoulder Rotator cuff (full thickness tear) 7 months ago. I have been waiting for ACC to approve surgery, which they have subsequently declined. The long delay further limits the chance of the surgery being fully successful. I had been taking painkillers and anti-inflammatory medication for the pain. Most nights I would wake up about 3 times and the pain in my shoulder would keep me awake for long periods of time. I had limited movement in my shoulder and constant pain, even when walking. I decided to see PhD Win for natural pain relief and to reduce the inflammation. So far I have had 3 sessions and already my pain is significantly reduced, without the need for painkillers or anti-inflammatories, and I am sleeping well. I have full movement range and increased strength in my shoulder. I am continuing the treatment with a goal of healing the shoulder naturally, instead of having invasive surgery requiring 4 months recovery.

He had a shoulder injury in Last November 2020 while he did  gardening. then have right shoulder pain , weakness on right arm, limited movement of right shoulder, specially, painful while sleeping, woke up many times one night, so he did ultrasound to  find  a full-thickness tear of the supranational tendon in  right shoulder. then did MRI, It has not responded to treatment OF everyone, and I have been referred for surgery.

I did acupuncture in 9/06/2020. then pain relieving lots, no more pain at night, he sent email to me.

 

Hi PhD Win,

I had a good sleep last night. I awoke but was not in pain and got back to sleep easily. I felt well-rested this morning and not in as much pain. I have been doing the arm exercises today but it is difficult to rest every 20-30 minutes in my job. I tried to change the type of activity I was doing as often as I could. Tonight my shoulder is a bit tighter and a little more painful than this morning, but still a lot better than before the first treatment. See you tomorrow at 4 pm.

Kind regards
###

the shoulder pain at moment is duo to the inflammation around right shoulder, nor duo to the tear of the supranational tendon , we need concern with the inflammation, nor the tear. so the treatments in another clinic have not effective before our treatment.

46，Acupuncture help the labour induction

Auckland duck lake

I did acupuncture and cupping for one pregnant kiwi lady recently,  she wanted labour induction fast, acupuncture & cupping worked wonders! She Went into labour that night and baby arrived on the 27th May (two days early).  She is very happy.

acupuncture has been used in China to reduce pain in labor, to augment or increase labor contractions, and for other birth-related reasons, for more than 2000 years.

acupuncture may increase your cervical ripening score, but does not lessen your need for Pitocin or epidurals, nor does it shorten and induce labor.

it might stimulate the uterus by stimulating hormonal changes or the nervous system.

47, Acupuncture Treatment of a Prolapse of Lumbar Intervertebral Disc

23-12-2020 MRI

Mr. Yu is Chinese , 66 years old. Lower back and leg pain for four months. Four months ago, the patient sprained his waist while doing Tai Chi. At that time, he could not straighten his waist. The pain spread from the left waist to the thigh, and then to the big toe. Then he went to do physical therapy and acupuncture. After the treatment, there was no improvement, but became worse and worse. it was very difficult for patients to get up and walk . he walked slowly with double crutches . Relieving lower back and leg pain by taking painkillers, but wake up several times a night duo to the pain.   a lumbar MRI was performed  on 23/12/2019, and it was reported that the L4L5 intervertebral disc protruded and compressed the nerve. The doctor suggested surgery, he did not want to do it, so he came to see  me to do acupuncture treatment.

on 20/02/2020 The patient entered the consultation room slowly with crutches, and went to bed slowly. He couldn’t lie on his back or lie prone, and could only lie on his right side.

An examination. The test for raising the left straight leg was positive, and the left lateral leg felt dull, and there was no difference in tendon reflex. The muscles in the lower back are stiff, and the left waist is tender. MRI reports that the lumbar L4L5 intervertebral disc herniated and compressed the nerve root.

Diagnosis, Western medicine: Lumbar disc herniation; Chinese medicine: Bi syndrome (qi and blood stagnation)

Treatment principle: removed Qi and blood stagantion.

Treatment’ method. on the point 4 inches beside L4L5, using a 75cm mini knife needle, going  straight to the deep, and then doing the LING GUI BA FA. No needle is left. Then make a sliding CUPPING on the WHOLE back. And LET patients to do EXECISE at home. Doing acupuncture for 12 sessions , three times a week.

Result. After three times, the pain was alleviated. Without painkillers at night, he could walk around the room slowly without  crutches. After six times, he drove to the clinic for treatment, getting off the car smoothly, and went to bed fast. After 9 times, there was no painkillers at all. It was easy to turn over in bed, can walk with a short distance, and straighten the waist. After 12 times, it is convenient to go up and down the stairs. Walking for long distances, but still tight and less pain on left  buttock.

Thank you message from patient Yu.

Video before and after treatment.

Experience. Chronic lumbar disc herniation, due to long-term pain, causes muscle tension in the lower back and even the whole body, resulting in obstruction of qi and blood circulation throughout the body, and local qi and blood circulation is severely insufficient, so edema and inflammation caused by disc herniation slowly recover and form chronic inflammation . The treatment should take the whole body treatment as the theme and the principle of qi and blood circulation.

49,one case of chronic knee pain treated by manipulation of SI

Today I see a patient who have a long-term left knee pain, because of its particularity. it is recorded as follows. Sharing with friends.

A Patient, European, female, 38 years old. More than a year of pain in the left knee. A year ago, there was no cause of pain in the left knee joint, a slight swelling, and it was impossible to walk long distances and stand for a long time. The pain is heavier in the THE BACK OF KNEE. After the activity is aggravated and the bed rest is relieved. Doing MRI examination, there is a meniscus injury in left knee. Did arthroscopy surgery four months ago, the pain was slightly relieved after the operation, and it was still impossible to walk and exercise normally. Two months later after the operation, the pain on knee got worse, taking painkillers and ineffective, and did some rehabilitation treatments, it were also ineffective. Her friend recommend me to her, so coming to see me today.

Check: Knee pain and pain index 8/10 when walking in treatment room. Passive knee joint movements, no pain, no restrictions. During passive knee movements, I can hear the snoring in LEFT KNEE joint. No swelling, no tenderness. It can be seen that there are two scars for surgery ON the knee.

The patient is very happy and grateful. This manipulation method of manual reduction is simple, fast and effective. The whole treatment process is completed in a few minutes. Going to bed, treatment, getting out of bed, be amazed!

after manipulation

sending message to me

leaving review on my google business map

 

Experience: there is a knee pain, any doctor first consider the local problems of the knee, when the MRI examination reports meniscus injury, the doctor’s diagnosis of knee pain is basically determined. So doing the arthroscopy surgery for the knee pain is a matter of course. At this time, no someone dare suspect the diagnosis and treatment. If she found me, I found that there were long and short legs, and I could not stop her from doing the surgery. Because of facing to an expert, and a report of MRI.

 

I am not a prophetic, she am still suffering from the knee pain after her surgery, and I only consider knee pain caused by other factors. For the treatment of the former doctor, it is to rule out the diagnosis for me.

 

The results of MRI examinations are not the only factor in diagnosing the disease. Doctors must combine with clinical. The positive findings of MRI are not necessarily the cause of the disease, maybe it is only a potential damage to the body. There are many potential injuries in the body that do not necessarily cause symptoms and discomfort.

 

Clinically, there are many non-local causes of knee pain. Therefore, patients with knee pain, especially when local symptoms and signs are not obvious, must consider the non-local causes of knee pain.

60, He knows his stuffs! 他还是有几把刷子的！

for several years I suffered from pain in my lower right abdomen and right inside leg. I spent thousands on main stream practitioners and test (including MRI / CT / Ultrasound scans etc.) with  noticeable improvement or resolution. As every other possibility had been ruled out I searched for a nerve pain specialist and found Dr. Win.
几年来，我感到右下腹和右腿内侧非常疼痛。我找了主流医学的各种专家，做了他们想到的检查（包括MRI / CT /超声波扫描等），花去我数千纽币，也没有明显的改善或找到合适的解决方案。由于其它的致病可能性已被排除，想寻找神经疼痛方面的专家，来帮助我，在网上搜索并找到黄博士中医诊所。

When Dr. Win first assessed my condition he listened to my explanation of the issue then, although the pain was in my leg lower abdomen and inside, after a short examination he pressed a point in my back which has subsequently proven to be the route cause or certainly a significant contributor to it.
黄博士首先评估我的病情，仔细听取我对这个疾病的倾诉。尽管疼痛发生在我的下腹部和大腿内侧，但经过短暂检查后，他在背部找到了一个点，随后证明这是一个致病的直接原因，或者肯定它是一个重要致病的因素之一。

Since then I have had several acupuncture and cupping sessions. Although still in progress at the time of posting this review this has all but eliminated the pain in these areas and it feels the best it has for years.
此后，我进行了几次针灸和拔罐。虽然在我发布此评论时仍在进行治疗中，但这几乎消除了上诉部位的疼痛，并且感觉现在的我是多年来最舒服的时刻。

I could have chosen a mainstream nerve pain clinic but decided to try something seen by many as ‘alternative’… I could have continued going around in circles visiting mainstream specialists and doing more tests but in a matter of a couple of weeks this achieved more than all others in the past few years.
我本可以选择一个主流医学神经疼痛诊所，但决定尝试一些被许多人视为“替代疗法”的东西……我本可以继续围绕主流医学专家的圈子再尝试进行各种测试，但是这二周内实现了这些进步比过去几年所有的专家做的都多的多，因此我可能要放弃其它治疗了。

I cannot say this approach will work for everyone and every issue but Dr. Win has certainly helped improve my situation so I highly recommend him. I decided on Dr. Win over others as he is ACC registered. That gave me confidence that he has approval for the services offered albeit not mainstream. He knows his stuff!

我不能说这种方法适用于所有人和每一个疾病，但是黄博士的治疗明显改善我的疼痛，所以我强烈推荐他。由于他是ACC注册的针灸治疗师，也是我决定找黄博士的原因。虽然它不是大家公认的主流医学，我还是相信ACC承认的治疗方法。黄博士确实是有几把刷子的，他知道他在做什么！

Share a Case of a Rare Strange Disease with Friends

By Dr. Win Acupuncture Clinic

I received a call from a lady who asked if I could treat her strange disease. After confirming that it could be tried, we made an appointment and she came to see me.

Patient Information:

• Ethnicity: European
• Age: 35 years old
• Symptoms: Paroxysmal dizziness and nausea for 26 years
• History:
  • The dizziness started unreasonably at 9 years old, accompanied by nausea and sometimes vomiting.
  • Visual disturbances (shaking vision), walking instability, severe nausea, and vomiting.
  • Relief comes with lying down and resting, sleeping for one to two hours, feeling only tired afterward with no other symptoms.
  • The attacks occurred almost once a month for many years with consistent symptoms.
  • She consulted ENT, neurology, and ophthalmology specialists, underwent various examinations including ear balance checks and brain MRI, but no abnormalities were found.
  • Anxiety was suspected, and anti-anxiety pills were prescribed but without improvement.
  • In recent years, the seizures became more frequent, occurring once a week and even once a day.

Current Status:

• The patient is of medium build, 30 weeks pregnant, with a good mental state and clear communication.
• Physical Examination: Red tongue, white greasy coating, deep and thin pulses.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnosis and Treatment: I diagnosed her condition as phlegm accumulation based on traditional Chinese medicine. I treated her with acupuncture, selecting the Baihui (DU20), Shenting (DU24), Benshen (GB13), Neiguan (PC6), and Fenglong (ST40) points, along with the emotional and balance areas of scalp acupuncture. The treatment is ongoing with continued observation.

Western Medicine Perspective: I believe her symptoms and seizure patterns suggest epilepsy. The regular and repetitive nature of her attacks, occurring almost monthly, with similar symptoms each time, are indicative. Among the five common types of epilepsy (grand mal, petit mal, partial seizures, psychomotor seizures, and autonomic seizures), her symptoms—abdominal pain, headache, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting—align most closely with autonomic seizures.

As a Chinese medicine practitioner, it is crucial to accurately diagnose the condition from a western medicine perspective to inform the traditional Chinese medicine treatment plan, assess clinical efficacy, and integrate Chinese and western medical approaches for comprehensive care.

62, Let me not understand a case of right arm numbness

Let me not understand a case of right arm numbness

By Dr win Huang

I treated one case of right arm numbness last week, it make me refuses from symptoms, sign, to treatment effect. So recoding it, share with friends.

Miss Lee,female,30 yrs old, Chinese. She felt numbness, weakness of right hand, and painful on her whole arm,while getting up three days ago, she thought that her problem was caused with the body pressure while she was sleeping, then it would recover soon. But it doesn’t get better, so she worry about it which may be worse to paralysis, so she come to see me,whom was recommended by her friend.

Examination: feeling diminished from L 1 to C 5; biceps reflex diminished; radial periosteal reflex diminished; power of right arm normal; power of right hand diminished. The primary diagnosis, nerve root damage (inflammation?)

I explain the reasons to the patient, which may be the reaction of self-immune, then caused the symptoms of numbness and weakness, eventually paralysis.and may be the acute muscle fibrosis, then caused muscles spasms, so it caused nervous ischemia.

I choose Jiaji points, accompanied with Jianjing, Tianzong points in acupuncture, doing cupping after acupuncture. She feels relax in right arm, numbness on arm and hand relieving lots. The symptoms are almost disappeared.

My misunderstanding has two meanings, firstly I don’t understand that the symptoms are disappeared fast, why she can not feel numbness and weakness after one session treatment, we know that the recovery of the nervous inflammation is slow, it need more than two weeks. Second there are many diseases at present which we can not explain with modern medicine, for example the symptoms,sign and treatment effect of the case. The doctors must think of the relationship between the disease and age which patient is living.

63, Skin disease treatment with Chinese herbal medicine

Skin disease treatment with Chinese herbal medicine

By Dr win Huang

I treated one patient with skin disease last week, with pimples significantly reduced after seven doses of Chinese herbal medicine treatment. Details are as follows.

Patient, male, 35 years old, had gotten pimples all over his body for many years, getting worse this year, particularly around head, face and back areas and slightly less severe for arms and legs. Red pimples, itching and with white tips on some of them. Had took the antibiotics for months in addition to topical ointments, no more effect. Many pimples became acne after scratching, and some turned into scars. His friend referred him to my clinic for Chinese medicine treatment.

I found there were many red pimples around his head, face, and neck area with white tips on some of them (see photo). Some had turned into hard scars and some into dark acne. patient is of medium built with dark yellow skin color. Yellow thick greasy tongue coating, and tongue colour is red.

Initial diagnose:eczema combined with acne ( dialectical for damp and heat type) .Prescribed Chinese herbal medicine Fangfeng Tongsheng San for him.

After seven doses, red pimples had faded in colour with most white tips disappeared. Patient’s face colour looked much better, with itching/skin irritation reduced significantly. Yellow thick greasy coating became thinner abd red tongue become lighter. Patient is under further treatment.

Having been in NZ for 16 years with my own Chinese medicine clinic, I have been practicing as a Chinese medicine doctor only, unlike my previous career in China as a acupuncture specialist or as a physician in hospital practicing in both Western and Chinese medicine. I deal with some diseases daily such as the eczema, acne, dermatitis,ringworm and other skin disease. Treating skin diseases with herbal medicine is one of my treatment methods.

66, Finding Relief Through Acupuncture: A Patient’s Journey with Dr. Win Huang

Last week, a very frustrated man in his 50s walked into Dr. Win Huang’s clinic, desperate for relief from problems that had tortured him for the past year. Despite undergoing numerous tests in Western medicine, doctors were unable to find an effective solution. Disappointed and depressed as his condition worsened, he felt powerless.

A friend, familiar with Dr. Win Huang’s clinic, recommended Dr. Huang, a neurologist and acupuncturist. Dr. Huang had previously practiced at the Hospital of Shandong Province, the largest and most advanced hospital in the province. After nearly twenty years of acupuncture practice, he moved to New Zealand and established his clinic in Newmarket ten years ago.

During the consultation, the patient shared his experience with Dr. Win. He had been feeling light-headed and experiencing vertigo for a year. Additionally, he struggled with poor appetite due to a distended and uncomfortable stomach, a mild bitter taste in his mouth, and a dry throat. After several hours of work, his hands would become numb. His worry about his health prevented him from working effectively and caused him to fear for his brain and heart, leading to a worsening condition due to stress.

Dr. Win, drawing on his extensive knowledge and experience, explained the possible underlying issues and dispelled the patient’s long-standing confusions. He began acupuncture treatment, clearly explaining how it could help. The patient immediately felt some relief and booked another appointment. When he returned for the second session, he had a smile on his face, completely feeling the difference acupuncture had made. He agreed to continue treatment and also accepted herbal treatment to improve his overall constitution.

After two weeks, his main problems had almost completely disappeared. Excited, he shared that it is always worth trying something new and special.

67, Little weakly – fatigue – tiredness – dry eyes – headache and dizziness – lightheadedness

Little weakly – fatigue – tiredness – dry eyes – headache and dizziness – lightheadedness

Dr. Huang Wenchuan

Today admissions of a Korean-American women, aged 32, she was born in the United States has not said a Korean. Her two weeks ago from Hawaii to Oakland to settle. Patients have been sick more than a decade, his eyes dry, depending on the material a bit vague, general weakness, fatigue. With the West’s words, is LOW ENERGY, literal translation is low energy, less air is able to paraphrase. Today, do not say what disease she had was a single from her doctor about the course I thought.

Ten years, she sought medical treatment numerous Western medicine, Chinese medicine, physical therapy, spine division, why did not cure her illness, I think a main reason she did not find a doctor about her illness. What disease she is suffering from it in the end, according to my diagnosis, I think she is shoulder fasciitis, which is a disease can be cured, after a period of treatment, I will tell you that treatment outcomes. Doctors believe she is fatigue syndrome, depression, to give western medicine did not improve; spine spine division that she is unbalanced, the spinal adjustment, the temporarily improved; Chinese medicine, her qi, qi and blood treatment, did not get satisfactory results; after rehabilitation therapy, is effective short-term, patients have lost confidence in medicine. I’ve talked a lot about the shoulder fasciitis this disease, the best treatment is medicine. Is diagnosed correctly, the disease, the medicine is really no use, though a aseptic inflammation, anti-inflammatory analgesics should be useful, but it is chronic inflammation, severe muscle fibrosis, these drugs may temporarily relieve pain basically no effect; spine treatment division, but if you work on spinal adjustments, certainly no long-term effects of this disease, there must be an imbalance of the spine, muscle inflammation, but it is muscle tension, and stretch the spine, spinal muscular adjustment would not solve the The fasciitis; physical therapy can relieve muscle tension, inflammation is less satisfactory; if Chinese medicine in Chinese medicine, acupuncture, orthopedic massage treatment on both the right, the effect is self-healing, I have testified numerous successful cases.

Her last Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine clinics in Hawaii, a doctor from mainland China, adhere to four months before and after the day a pair of traditional Chinese medicine, one week secondary acupuncture. Why is this medicine doctors did not treat her illness is good, brought from her illness, treatment of letter of recommendation I can see that this is a traditional Chinese medicine doctors trained and experienced in Chinese medicine. Prescription medicine is the right path and dialectical in place, reasonable prescription, but the doctor’s prescription I would not be as acupuncture, acupuncture point and a half sheet of paper, to see that the doctors do not understand Chinese acupuncture. Patient said, rolling from head to toe every time you want more than a hundred needles, acupuncture this is it? Is not acupuncture, acupuncture simply see a little book, that does not mean that acupuncture ah! This flicker of patients, the last flicker of their own, four patients did not cure the disease, but lost the confidence of patients treated, four months to get the economic benefits are only temporary, and lost the trust of the patient’s long-term, patient Chinese medicine treatment, I do not find him, but around her friends and know people will find his treatment of a doctor. So the doctor is only a pulse of the medical prescriptions, rather than with acupuncture and orthopedic massage techniques, but do not have the Western diagnostic techniques, so that medical treatment is not good in this disease.

The patients less anemic, according to TCM is that Qi. Patients speak whisper, check the patient looking minimalist, pale tongue, thready pulse, also verified in patients with deficiency. Generally speaking, qi is the gas shortage, the body of the gas is not sufficient, need to qi, qi is necessary to use traditional Chinese medicine Astragalus, Codonopsis, angelica, etc., necessary to use reinforcing method of acupuncture, supposedly so that after treatment the patient will feel full strength, Why not treat these patients with shoulder fasciitis effect? Because the patient’s body is no shortage of gas, not lack of energy, but the qi, meridians are not painful, essence does not flow in the body, so for these patients, instead of traditional Chinese medicine is to ease up. For the acupuncture treatment, depression is the evidence, to use the reducing method. I usually take the first Tianzhu points, so the waist and lower extremities in patients with active, then acupuncture yang chi point, the patient arm and upper body activity, the last patient lying belly, take back acupoints, such as heart Shu, Shu liver, spleen Shu and so on. These patients, I also take the tank bladder full sun treatment for the purpose of play to clear the meridian. Sometimes the acupuncture points on the back, Bloodletting and cupping.

For traditional Chinese medicine, the liver qi is necessary, blood circulation network. I tend to Tonga with the Bupleurum keel oyster blood agent, Chinese medicine has Bupleurum, Scutellaria, Pinellia, Poria, Radix Codonopsis, Gui, rhubarb, licorice, keel, oysters, peach, Salvia, etc.

Generally believed that the effect of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of disease is slow, but I do not think so. Three pay down of traditional Chinese medicine, should be effective, a week off, should be significantly effective, the treatment two weeks if still no results, you should think of the treatment is symptomatic, it is necessary to change the treatment for patients, two weeks still no effect , it is necessary for a doctor, how the doctors here are still four months of treatment does. I admire the doctors, he was the method used to treat four patients a day, drink a pair of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture twice a week, since there is no treatment, the doctor works and what methods were explained ah. Chinese medical treatment for those patients who are helpless, free of Western medicine can not solve their pain, they are full of Chinese goodwill and trust of his own pocket, hoping medicine can treat their patients heal. As a Chinese doctor in more than grateful to them, patients should give us the opportunity to cherish.

(09/12/10) After my treatment, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, cupping, patients feel significant improvement in dry eye was significantly reduced, many times a day before the eye, and now also three times, improved energy, sleep, diet also significantly improved , urinate less often, go to the toilet several times a day, now normal. That is two weeks of treatment has paid off, patients are very satisfied! Continue treatment two weeks, treatment should be ended, to enable patients to exercise their own and adjust.

69, Simon Alexander Mannering had acupuncture in dr win acupuncture clinic

Simon Alexander Mannering’s Recovery Journey

Simon Alexander Mannering (born 28 August 1986) is a New Zealand professional rugby league player for the New Zealand Warriors of the National Rugby League (NRL). A New Zealand international representative second-row forward, who can also play at centre, Mannering has dedicated his entire NRL career to the Warriors.

Three months ago, Simon sustained a muscle injury in his upper left leg. Initially, physiotherapy treatments helped him feel much better, allowing him to return to playing rugby. However, despite his doctor’s advice to rest and undergo regular treatment, his condition worsened after more intense running sessions. Over the past two weeks, his symptoms have deteriorated to the point where he cannot engage in intense running or participate in rugby games.

Simon and his team are keen on ensuring a full recovery from his leg muscle injury. His friend, Logan Swan, a former rugby player who had successfully used acupuncture for a lower back injury, recommended that Simon seek acupuncture treatment.

I am hopeful that acupuncture will help Simon recover fully and return to his peak performance on the field.

he feels much better,after 6 session acupuncture,no pain on leg,and can run stronger,and has a normal training,he tell me he will go to play game in next week.

he satisfies my treatments,so he is glad to take a photo with me.

Sore eyes can frequently occur due to conditions like glaucoma, cluster headaches, or trigeminal neuralgia. These are some common eye problems we typically encounter in the clinic. However, an interesting case came to me recently involving a patient with sore eyes on the left side.

The patient had been directed to see an eye doctor but was also seeking alternative treatments. Since his father had received successful treatment at my clinic, he decided to give it a try. He experienced severe eye pain, to the point where he could not open his eye. The upper border of the inner corner of his eye felt tense, and applying pressure to this spot relieved the pain. He was unable to sleep at night, leading to a miserable life.

I performed a thorough physical examination and basic inquiries to rule out common diseases such as glaucoma, cluster headaches, and trigeminal neuralgia. For example, glaucoma typically doesn’t cause pain outside the eye, yet this patient did have external eye pain. Additionally, his pain was consistent, unlike the intermittent pain seen in trigeminal neuralgia or cluster headaches. Trigeminal neuralgia also often causes hypersensitivity or dullness in the forehead, which this patient did not experience.

Having encountered cases where greater occipital nerve inflammation led to eye problems, I suspected this might be the issue. The greater occipital nerve runs along the back and lateral side of the head, and when inflamed, it can cause symptoms like pain and changes in sensation that may be mistaken for more common conditions.

I treated him six times, and the pain completely disappeared.

The greater occipital nerve originates from the junction of the cervical spine and the base of the skull, innervating the posterior and lateral sides of the head. Problems with this nerve can lead to symptoms in unusual areas, including the front of the head. Proper differentiation from conditions like trigeminal neuralgia, cluster headaches, and other common diseases requires a professional’s expertise.

71, one case of the Double Vision

Double Vision

We all know that our eyes allow us to see the colorful world around us. When vision problems arise, people reflexively visit an ophthalmologist (eye doctor) to sort things out. However, the reality can sometimes be more complex than it seems.

One patient knocked on my door with a complaint of double vision that had persisted for six months. He had visited his family doctor, who referred him to an eye specialist. After waiting a few months, the specialist found nothing wrong with his eyes. Desperate and in pain, the patient endured numerous medical treatments without any improvement.

Despite thorough examinations, no one considered that his issue might be related to the nervous system. The cranial nerves, specifically the abducens, oculomotor, and trochlear nerves, control the eye muscles and are critical for eye movement. When nothing is wrong with the eyes themselves, medical professionals should investigate these nerves.

In this case, the patient’s double vision was indeed related to these nerves. Unfortunately, by the time the correct diagnosis was made, the optimal treatment window had passed, leaving him to suffer needlessly.

This experience underscores the importance of considering neurological causes when dealing with unexplained vision problems. With the right knowledge and approach, we can help address such issues effectively.

81, Case of Interdigital Neuralgia for 3 Months with Acupuncture

83,  Patient who unsteady walking and hearing loss, thanked me very much for my advice

She came to Auckland from the Cook Islands to thank me.

Last year, she sought acupuncture and moxibustion for her unsteady walking and hearing loss. I listened to her medical history and performed a neurological examination. I found that she had facial sensory loss, balance disorders, hearing loss, and facial sensory loss. I suspected a high possibility of nerve compression and suggested she get a head MRI.

After returning to her local area, she immediately saw a neurologist and had an MRI. It revealed a large lump on the left side of her head, and the doctor arranged for surgery. The case was reported as an acoustic neuroma. After the operation, she recovered well. She stopped falling when she walked, her hearing recovered to some extent, and her face was still numb.

The patient thanked me very much for my advice and praised my superb medical skills.

84, She has been experiencing dry, tired, and painful eyes for 2 years

She has been experiencing dry, tired, and painful eyes for 2 years.

She went to see a specialist and underwent examinations, but nothing was found. She was prescribed eye drops, which had no significant effect.

After three sessions of acupuncture, she feels much better. The dry eyes and pain behind her eyes are almost gone, and she is very happy.

I believe her problem is possibly due to nerve stimulation from a neck issue.

A true knee lock occurs when something in your knee joint gets stuck and prevents normal movement. The knee joint is supposed to bend and rotate smoothly, but when movement is blocked, it can become immobilized.

He experienced knee locking for three days, making walking difficult. However, after just one acupuncture treatment with a single needle, he regained normal walking ability. He is very happy with the result and wants to share his experience with friends.

91, Acupuncture Treatment for a Case of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder with Associated Headache Following Dental Surgery

94, wrist pain | thoracic outlet syndrome | radiating pain and tingling

He has been experiencing more pain on the ulnar side of his left wrist when pushing his hand back for two months.

I checked his left wrist and found no tenderness or limited movement; reflexes are normal; sensitivity on the ulnar side of the hand.

So, I think it is nerve pain in the wrist, specifically ulnar nerve pain.

I also checked the left elbow and found no tenderness.

Then, I checked the pectoralis minor muscle and found tenderness in the front of the left shoulder, with the pain radiating to the left arm and causing tingling in the left hand.

So, I think it is thoracic outlet syndrome, and the compression point is in the pectoral minor space.

I chose to use acupuncture on the tender point in the front of the left shoulder. After three sessions of treatment, the left wrist pain is almost gone. However, there is still some traveling pain in the left arm. We will continue with acupuncture.

What do you think of this case? Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks.

95, severe lower back pain| leg pain | walking pain with limp | nerve damage by injection| Auckland acupuncture| iatrogenic anxiety

Please make an appointment, by clicking the below link

She is a 32-year-old European woman who has experienced severe pain in her left lower back and leg for two years.

She strained her left hamstring while training for yoga and heard a popping noise in the hamstring. She has been taking painkillers and seeing a physiotherapist but it has not improved. She could not walk normally for a whole year, especially on hills. Her doctor suggested she get a steroid injection.

She received the steroid injection in November last year. Afterward, she experienced severe lower back pain that radiated to her left leg. She took sleeping pills and painkillers to relieve the pain. She consulted a neurologist and had four MRIs, but nothing was found. The specialist guessed that the nerve might have been bruised and damaged by the injection needle and advised her to wait for nerve recovery over two years. because she can not live and work normally, she does not want to wait, so her friend recommended me to her, and she wants to try acupuncture.

She is a little bit nervous and worries about the sequelae of nerve damage and her future.

Examination: Reflexes are normal, foot strength is normal, sensation in the legs is normal, and sensation in the lower back is normal. The straight leg raise test causes slight pain in the left hamstring and lower back at 60-70 degrees. There is more tenderness in the left hip, and the pain radiates to the left leg.

I performed cupping and acupuncture, and she felt much better after the treatment. I suggested she relax, do regular exercises that I taught her, and engage in activities she can handle. I will continue to meet with the patient.

My opinion：

1, What caused her to have a concept of nerve damage?

First, she had a steroid injection and experienced lower back pain afterward. She never had lower back pain before, so she believes the injection is the cause.

Second, her lower back pain worsened progressively after the injection, causing her to walk with a limp. She couldn’t identify any other reason, so she attributed the pain to the injection.

Third, the neurologist suspected she might have nerve damage. However, the specialist did not perform a thorough neurological examination, such as testing reflexes, sensation, and motor function. especially, after the MRI, the specialist should explain to the patient that she did not have nerve damage.

2, This diagnosis of nerve damage has caused more harm to the patient than the disease itself.

In general, people believe that it is harder to recover from nerve damage than from muscle damage. It is also easier to experience aftereffects from nerve damage than from muscle damage, such as paralysis and chronic nerve pain. Therefore, she is under immense stress due to the nerve damage and will undergo many medical consultations, even if she is not working.

3, From my examination, I believe it should be a muscle injury, particularly involving the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. She felt much better after my first treatment. Currently, her biggest problem is anxiety.
Her anxiety is called “iatrogenic anxiety.” In other words, this refers to anxiety caused by a doctor’s diagnosis, treatment, medication, or other medical actions.

We should explain her situation, emphasizing that the neurological examination was normal, the lower back pain was due to muscle issues, and it is easy to recover from this condition. Let her know that acupuncture is effective for both muscle and anxiety problems.

4, Education for her:
Doing regular exercises as I taught.
Learning how to move past the idea of nerve damage.
Engaging in activities she is capable of doing.

What are your thoughts on the medical case? Please share your thoughts with me.

Thanks
