I have a patient with trigger finger as well, and am wondering if dry needling was able to help it. If so, which points did you find the most helpful?

Yes, the Lumboplevic clinical integration course specifically teaches techniques effective for pudendal nerve entrapment with IDN, cupping and manual techniques. If you've taken both cert courses, then you have an idea of what innervates the region. Consider starting central, at the B paraspinals and then identify homeostatic points that surround and may impact the innervation and muscles involved; you're thinking correctly with the cluneals and L5 B. You can also needle S1. The ITB point sounds like it would be very beneficial for her.

Have you cleared out her hip? The rotatores sometimes contribute to the entrapment and lateral discomfort; check those out as well.

Let me know if you have any additional questions,

I have a patient with a splenectomy scar that runs from her navel to her xiphoid process; I wanted to make sure since it runs up so high that it was still safe to needle so long as I stay superficial with a 0.5in needle and angle the needle horizontally/under the scar not AP?  Based on my anatomy apps I am still clear of the lung field, but wanted to double check and see if anyone else has done any dry needling to a similar scar?  

 

Thanks in advance!
