  • Differentiate CN III/IV/VI-type patterns from pure cervical or vestibular drivers to select appropriate point sets.
  • Apply a targeted acupuncture treatment plan matched to the identified oculomotor deficit.
  • Integrate LLLT safely (peri-orbital and cervico-occipital) with dosing and sequencing that enhance rehab drills.
  • Implement a 4-week protocol and track outcomes.
  • Educate patients with a simple home program (2–6 minutes/day) that reinforces clinic gains.

The Missing Piece of the Fertility Puzzle
The Missing Piece of the Fertility Puzzle

When we talk about fertility, the focus is often placed on the ovaries and the uterus. Yet sperm-related factors contribute to nearly half of all cases of infertility. Whether someone is navigating fertility care alone or with a partner, and whether building a family through intercourse, IVI, IUI or IVF, it’s vital to include sperm health in the picture.

Multiple-Procedure Claim Reductions?
Multiple-Procedure Claim Reductions?

With some plans – and it starts with Medicare (CMS) – there is a payment protocol that may be referred to as a multi-therapy discount, but its official name is the multiple-procedure payment reduction (MPPR). If a health care provider performs multiple procedures during a single patient encounter, Medicare (and many commercial insurers) typically will pay “full price” for only the highest-valued procedure.
