clinical practice vol 2.

Here is a glimpse of what we have been doing over the past few weeks at Clinical Practice.

Acupuncture training.

Concentrated faces...

"Come on, it didn't hurt so much! You only screamed a little."

Handiwork of a pro (a real TCM doctor).

This is how you hold the needle. And let me tell you, those suckers can be long. You need to know what you are doing. Seriously.

Anticipation...

One of the safest points to stick the needle in.

Yay!

Our thank you -cards to the staff!

Kinesiotaping. A combination of relaxing, activating and supporting techniques.

Pre-cut tape (blue) vs. self-cut. To combat f.ex. shinsplints.

Support-taping for shoulder with an emphasis on correcting the shoulder alignment.

Acupoints in the leg. We practiced on four points.

N. peroneus neural conduction velocity testing (sensory).

Brian showing us how it's done.

Testing NCV (n. ulnaris).

"Houston, I am going in!" We had the opportunity to observe operations - when it was my turn, I got to see a total knee replacement.

Another acupoint in the leg.

Future professionals! Call us!
