Our recent seminar held in Hawaii was an unforgettable experience. Despite the peculiar weather—rain in the mountains and sunshine at the beach—the session itself was remarkable. We had an impressive turnout: an acupuncturist from Belgium, two naturopaths from Poland, and professionals from Taiwan and Australia. The sheer diversity of participants made it an enriching experience for everyone involved.

#### A Case Study with Fascinating Outcomes

One notable theme from the seminar was understanding the history of injuries to guide physical examinations. We discussed a case involving a woman who suffered a severe injury eight years prior. Despite the injury's age, we applied FSM techniques like concussion and vagus nerve frequencies, along with specialized protocols for her low back and neck pain. Remarkably, just treating the specific areas such as the SI joints and cervical spine had profound impacts on alleviating her thumb pain, which was traced back to her C6 vertebrae.

#### Exploring Treatment Protocols

The seminar provided us another critical insight: the importance of understanding "why" behind the scarring. By focusing on the fundamental reasons, such as trauma and inflammation, and utilizing FSM frequencies to address these, we could significantly improve outcomes. For instance, prehab with FSM protocols has proven crucial for athletes awaiting surgeries, optimizing their recovery and ensuring better surgical outcomes.

#### The Essence of Proper History Taking

### Unveiling the Complexities of SI Joint and Vestibular Injuries: A Comprehensive Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment

Welcome to today's blog post where we delve into a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating Sacroiliac (SI) joint injuries and vestibular dysfunction. This post provides a detailed walk-through of a real-life patient case, revealing the intricacies of how these conditions can interrelate and the diagnostic tools and treatments available for managing them effectively.

#### The Complex Case Study: Patient's Initial Condition

Our journey begins with a patient suffering from an extensive list of symptoms—repeated expressions of discomfort and frustration, phrases like "Oh my God, this is insane," and "That's ridiculous." The patient also mentioned various treatments being attempted without success, highlighting persistent pain and limitations in daily functions.

#### Mapping Out the Problem

A crucial first step in understanding this patient's case was a thorough examination. This started with highlighting specific symptoms:

• Persistent pain described as "hilarious but ridiculous."

• A complex history involving multiple treatments like injection pillow, skin taping, and various exercises.

• Diagnoses from physical exams and past procedures indicating possible ligament tears and synovial joint issues.

• Persistent muscular pain points, particularly in the glute minimus and other muscles compensating for dysfunction in the SI joint.

#### Diagnostic Techniques: Leaving No Stone Unturned

The diagnostic process was multifaceted, involving numerous techniques to get a full picture of the patient's condition:

1. Physical Examination: An in-depth examination of the SI joint, assessing symptoms like tenderness, muscle spasms, and joint stability.

2. Tuning Fork Test: Used to determine semi-circular canal dehiscence, a potential contributor to vestibular dysfunction.

3. Gait Analysis: Observing patient's movement, balance, and coordination to identify any abnormalities or compensatory mechanisms in ambulation.

4. Visual Tests: Including eye-tracking and head movement coordination, to understand the extent of vestibular injury.

#### Treatment Modalities Applied

Once diagnostics provided a clearer scope of the problem, tailored treatments began:

• FSM (Frequency Specific Microcurrent): This included treating torn ligaments and connective tissue. FSM is utilized for its ability to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing in specific areas.

• Injections: Steroid and prolotherapy injections were used accurately within the joint to diagnose and address specific pain sources effectively.

• Skin Taping: Applied precisely to stabilize the SI joint by reducing excessive movement, thus lowering pain and improving functional stability.

• Physical Treatments: Manual work, including the use of pressure on specific points to reduce muscle tension and improve alignment.

#### Intricacies of Manual Therapy

Manual therapy for this patient involved:

• Applying pressure to areas of adhesion between the psoas and bladder.

• Addressing tightness in the quadratus lumborum and associated musculature to improve movement.

• Focusing on softening the muscles overlying facet joints to relieve associated nerve pain.

• Careful manipulation of the suboccipital muscles to alleviate tension extending from cervical misalignment impacting vestibular functions.

#### Importance of Patient Communication and Sensitivity

Throughout the diagnostic and treatment process, patient comfort and communication were prioritized. Consistently asking the patient about her pain levels, clarifying each step of the process, and ensuring a thorough explanation enabled a more targeted and effective treatment regimen.

#### Results and Reflections

After implementing these comprehensive treatment strategies, there was a notable improvement:

• The patient reported a sensation of clarity, reduced muscular tension, and enhanced range of motion.

• Objective measures, such as increased neck flexion, extension, and rotation, validated these subjective reports.

• The plan included follow-up treatments to ensure sustained improvement and address any remaining issues.

#### Conclusion

This detailed case study underscores the complexity and interrelation of SI joint injuries and vestibular dysfunction. Treating such multifaceted conditions requires a deep understanding of anatomy, innovative diagnostic techniques, and a blend of manual therapies and technological interventions.

Understanding the interplay between various bodily systems and having a meticulous approach to diagnostic and therapeutic processes can significantly enhance patient outcomes. If you or someone you know is suffering from similar symptoms, consider a multi-targeted approach to uncover and address the underlying issues comprehensively.

In our continuous journey of exploring the body's intricate systems, it's essential to demystify certain conditions that often perplex both practitioners and patients. Today, we delve into two topics that are frequently misunderstood: adrenal fatigue and vestibular injuries.

Understanding Adrenal Fatigue The term "adrenal fatigue" is thrown around loosely, often without any definitive testing to back up the diagnosis. Many patients come in with an assumed diagnosis made without objective findings, often based on vague symptoms like fatigue, poor digestion, or low energy.

Diagnosing Adrenal Fatigue The gold standard for diagnosing adrenal fatigue is the four-tube salivary hormone test, which measures cortisol levels at various times throughout the day. This test is crucial because it accurately reflects the diurnal rhythm of cortisol production in the body. However, many practitioners still rely on intuition or muscle testing without engaging in this vital step.

The Adrenal Rhythm and Intervention Patients with cortisol rhythm disruptions might find themselves feeling sluggish in the morning and wired at night. Managing this requires a tailored approach, often including supplements like ashwagandha for night-time cortisol quieting and DHEA for morning energy enhancement.

Beyond Fatigue: The Investigative Approach Adrenal fatigue is just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to chronic fatigue. Proper investigation must include ruling out sleep apnea, heart disease, and long COVID. Tools like the WatchPAT for sleep studies or a thorough cardiac examination can reveal other underlying issues. Moreover, FSM (Frequency Specific Microcurrent) practitioners have unique protocols, especially for treating post-viral fatigue and its lingering impacts on the body.

Vestibular Injuries: Overlooked and Misunderstood Vestibular injuries are another area that is frequently overlooked or misdiagnosed. These injuries can result from falls, concussions, car accidents, or even something as benign as an airplane flight. Symptoms often manifest as constant nausea, anxiety, and balance issues, which can be easily mistaken for other conditions.

Diagnosing and Treating Vestibular Injuries A critical tool for diagnosing vestibular issues is the Brain Injury Visual System Symptom (BIVSS) Questionnaire. This gives an objective score to the otherwise subjective experience of vestibular problems, helping to guide effective treatment options like FSM, vestibular rehab, or even prism glasses.

FSM: A Revolutionary Approach FSM not only addresses physical symptoms but also helps patients process their conditions emotionally. Whether it's adrenal support or unraveling vestibular injuries, the role of FSM is indispensable. Some of the key protocols include:

• Quiet Adrenals: Helping to manage cortisol levels and restore normal rhythms. - Adrenal Support: Running increased secretions in the adrenals time-dependently to boost energy. - Vestibular Rehabilitation: Using FSM specifics like torn and broken frequencies in the semicircular canals to alleviate symptoms.

The Power of Words in Healing Beyond the physical treatments, the words and communication used by practitioners greatly affect patient recovery. Using positive affirmations and avoiding alarming or dismissive language can be transformative.

Dr. Carolyn McMakin and Kim Pittis, discuss the recent FSM symposium and advanced courses that were attended by physicians specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation. The speakers at the training discussed various topics such as micro RNA, head, neck, and face pain, electrical circulatory systems, and the history of electromedicine. Dr. Carolyn McMakin sets a high bar for her symposium's speeches and focuses on reproducibility in FSM backed by evidence-based research. She advises on the use of specific currents in the synovium for increasing synovial fluid in the joint. Dr. McMakin stresses checking for balance in the shoulder muscles and quieting down the vagus nerve. The relationship between the thalamus and chronic pain is also discussed, with the importance of addressing root causes of pain and dysfunction in the body. The podcast episode concludes with a reminder that the podcast does not provide medical advice or create a doctor-patient relationship. Any advice should be taken in consultation with a medical practitioner.

Dr. McMakin of Frequency Specific Seminars discussed how FSM could treat scar tissue and reset the nervous system. She highlighted how specific frequencies, such as 40/89, 40/84, 40/92, 40/94, and 81/84, can be used to release adhesions and retrain the nervous system. Additionally, Kim Pittis and FSM Sports course cover combining the releases with rehabilitative and performance components. To start off the year, Kim shared her two favorite quotes to inspire. Overall, this episode gave a great overview of how FSM can be used to treat a variety of medical conditions.
