Allan’s Cage: Severe Sciatica & Back Pain Case Study
After having two failed back surgeries and a cage put in, Allan was still having severe sciatica down his leg and the back pain. It got so bad they ended up putting a stimulator in his spine to keep it under control.When he first came in he was on large doses of painkillers and very skeptical whether or not acupuncture was for him.
This was one of those instances where I was able to see firsthand how acupuncture really is amazing. I’m happy to say after some work we were able to get rid of the shooting pain in the leg, keep the pain in control, and he no longer uses the stimulator.
” Acupuncture great because it gives people hope. And hope is a powerful thing.” – Brad Whisnant

The True Size of An Acupuncture Needle
One of the main reasons why people do not try acupuncture is because they are they are afraid of needles. In this video we talk about how acupuncture needles are literally hair thin compared to the injection needles you get at the Doctor’s office. Patients are so surprised when I tell them that the needle has already been inserted and they didn’t even know.

Jiu Jitsu Lower Back Injury
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Training Injury Acupuncture Brisbane
Owen is an old brazilian jiu jitsu training buddy of mine and he popped by because he had severe lower back pain. He had strained his back along the GB channel and was bed ridden for a few days before he finally made it in.
The pain was good resting but as soon as he would try to twist or move he would feel the pain immediately. He was getting ready to go to train in thailand and needed to be good to throw kicks by the end of the month.
Using Dr. Tan’s balance method we did opposite side SJ points along the meridian (hand shao yang foot shao yang balance each other.) The Pain then shifted more medial to toward the Bl channel in his lower back, so we then did the opposite side Lu points. The pain after that, disappeared.
We treated him twice and Im happy to say I saw a fb vid of him kicking the pads in thailand like a beast. True story.

Place your thumb—the right thumb if you are right-handed, the left if you are left-handed—squarely on this spot. Place your second thumb next to the first and press down hard, wrapping your other fingers around your foot to get some leverage for applying pressure. Stimulating it helps awaken your body systems and slow down the aging process. It also helps to improve your circulation, particularly blood flow to your pelvic cavity, which in turn can help your egg quality.[1]
