Thumbs Arthritis, Sciatica

male, age 72

Complaints:
MRI showed severe arthritis in the joints of both right and left thumbs. Cortisone shot is not providing relief anymore.

Acupuncture: Right side yin horary points of Wood-Fire sequence LR1, HT8, SP3, LU8, KD10.

Treatment Process:
The patient received 11 acupuncture treatments so far at twice a week visit in the first 6 visits and then once a week. After the first visit, the patient reported some relief in the thumbs and was given a daily acupressure technique to do at home. Although the intensity of pain is as severe as prior to starting acupuncture, he saw increased periods of relief. The second week was overall better than the first week. On the fourth visit, the patient had expressed that the right sciatic pain had considerably reduced in intensity and frequency. Prior to initial treatment, the leg was quite painful sitting for a length of time, especially when driving. By the ninth visit, the thumbs were about 50% relieved and the sciatic pain has mostly not been present for at least one and half months.

Discussion: Although his thumb joints are bone-on-bone, some relief is a huge welcome since he is aging and desires an active lifestyle. He does not want to have surgery due to the prolonged recovery period and no guarantee of a successful result. Acupuncture is not a replacement to surgery, but it is a viable option. Even the sciatic pain that was not mentioned has significantly reduced. Acupuncture is truly a multiple benefit therapy, therefore rightly called holistic. Acupressure is an additional help that the patient can do at home without relying solely upon the practitioner.

Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy

female, age 69

Complaints:
Neuropathy in feet for 2 years with numbness (no sensation) without a known cause. She had to be careful in watching her steps and be ready to grasp a stable object in case there is a loss of balance.

Acupuncture:
Left side Yin Horary Points in Metal-Water sequence of LU11, KD2, LR3, HT4, and SP9.

Treatment Process:
The patient received two acupuncture sessions per week. The first two treatments of left side yin horary points of wood-fire sequence LR1, HT8, SP3, LU8, KD10 did not produce a relief. On the third visit, the point combination was changed to LU11, KD2, LR3, HT4, and SP9. Four days later, the patient reported an improved balance, first time in two years. By the sixth visit, the patient reported an increased tactile sensation where she started to feel her feet in the shoes. By the 14th visit, the patient reported an overall 35-40% improvement. The patient continues to receive acupuncture treatment once every 2-3 weeks for maintenance.

Discussion:
Her primary reason for seeking acupuncture treatment was out of a concern that she may fall, breaking a bone. The repercussion was a significant loss of quality of life and independence, which she wanted to prevent.
