    Has anyone worked with any patients with Arthrogryposis? I’ll ultimately clear it through her specialist and through our Head Team Physician but I have a para-athlete with the condition who could benefit with DN therapy for her shoulder RTC tendinitis from rolling her wheelchair and her sport. Just curious to see if anyone has used this therapy in patients with this condition or similar ones?

    P.S. I’m assuming that treatment would only be indicated and advised for areas of her body not affected by the condition, in her case affects primarily her hips down. Will definitely speak to her specialist but curious if anyone has worked with this condition specifically

    Hi Adrienne-
    I am so sorry but I do not have any experience with this diagnosis. I looked at the pathophysiology quickly but would need to do more reading. Have you done a lit review with this diagnosis and DN or acupuncture? Might be something in the acupuncture literature to help direct you. What does the physician think? I would definitely have a discussion there to get their thoughts, as I just don’t understand the disease process well enough to offer you insight and guidance. I am sorry I am not of much help here. Hoping one of your colleagues has some experience here they can share.
    Keep us posted if you find anything out.
    All the best-
    Sue
