Is there a connection between The Superficial Peroneal Nerve and Restless Leg Syndrome?
There are some new devices for Restless Leg Syndrome that use electric stimulation to stimulate the afferent nerves of the low leg.
What's the connection to the Superficial Peroneal Nerve and Restless Leg? I'm not sure, but I'm willing to start treating patients with this in mind.
Also, some updates on tough nerve entrapment cases.

Chronic Pain Patient with symptoms of an Ilioinguinal Nerve Entrapment
Recognizing symptoms of peripheral nerve entrapment is critical for chronic pain patients who have gotten no relief from the usual standard of care and diagnostic exams.
When you know the symptoms, you can rule in or out a peripheral nerve entrapment and then palpate the typical entrapment zones to confirm you are on the right track.

My Thoughts about Electric Stimulation of Motor Points - the Why and How and How Long
People often ask questions about how to use electric stimulation of an acupuncture needle in the motor point of a muscle. They want to know why and how and for how long.
I attempt to give some answers based on what I have seen. There are so many opinions about it that I thought it would be best to give you the basic explanation that has worked well for me. If you're happy with your results, that's what you should do.
I leave it to others to dispute the minutiae of frequencies and points and length of treatment.

Packed with useful info
This podcast has really opened my eyes to a an amazingly effective way of understanding how to help people with acupuncture! I’m so grateful to Rich for packing in so much useful info for free! I often listen and take notes, or listen multiple times there is just so much and it’s all really helpful. As a new acupuncturist it has boosted my confidence and results amazingly. Highly recommend
Short, simple and powerful.
I have had the pleasure of being both a student and patient of Rich. I absolutely love this podcast. It’s short with simple yet powerful concepts on different aspects of orthopedic acupuncture. I love that I can listen on my 20 mins drive to the clinic and walk away with clinical pearls that I may not have heard before. Keep them coming!
Hands down best Acupuncture podcast!
I have been listening to Richard Hazel’s Acupuncture and Dry Needling podcast since it’s inception. I love how clinically applicable and to the point it is. No fluff whatsoever. I really appreciate his generosity making this podcast as well as the great classes and workshops he puts on online or in person.
