In this episode of Pivot Point of View, Becky and Destri sit down with Dr. Jordan Barber, acupuncturist and pain management specialist, to explore practical and effective approaches to treating pain. The conversation covers how techniques such as acupuncture and dry needling are used to treat trigger points, along with the importance of addressing the underlying biomechanical and functional issues that lead to those trigger points in the first place.
Dr. Barber shares his perspective on the unique challenges faced by people who spend a lot of time in the saddle, whether on a horse or a bicycle. He explains how prolonged riding can contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction in both men and women, and why this region is often overlooked in conventional pain care.
Beyond clinical work, Jordan is deeply committed to supporting other healthcare professionals in clarifying their vision and building practices that are truly patient centered. He emphasizes helping practitioners move beyond the limitations of the current healthcare system by creating care models that empower patients to actively manage their health.
Dr. Barber is also the author of Realigning Medicine, a guide for clinicians who want to take ownership of their practice and align their work with their values. Learn more about his clinical work and his book at https://drjordanbarber.com/
