SFC (Join to see) - needles...oh, no. There has got to be another way! Are you working at extending the physical capabilities of military athletes? Or is it general sports medicine?

There is a better way! Laser acupuncture. I use lasers on people who are afraid of needles or on areas of the body where needles would be more painful (around fingers and toes, etc.). I usually use needles, though. But for folks who do not like them, we can use lasers.

COL Lee Flemming - General sports medicine. It is an interest of mine within my field. I have done some of my own recovery from military related injuries.

There are other types of point stimulation. I have very little experience in the way of sports medicine with poultices but I have started with herbal poultice for things like hypertension.
