“When all you have is a hammer, everything begins to look like a nail.”
This may be one of the most important clips we’ve shared from Dr. Anthony Lombardi.
Because the problem isn’t that practitioners don’t have enough techniques.
It’s knowing which treatment to use, when to use it, and why.
In acupuncture and dry needling, it’s easy to learn one technique—motor points, trigger points, electroacupuncture, a favorite protocol—and start applying it to almost every patient.
But a mechanical problem, chronic pain condition, and systemic presentation are not the same thing.
And they shouldn’t automatically receive the same treatment.
That’s what Anthony is getting at in this clip.
His approach to electroacupuncture is built around clinical reasoning, assessment, and treatment with purpose—not guessing, not chasing symptoms, and not simply repeating the technique you know best.
The goal is to understand:
• What type of problem is actually in front of you
• Whether you should be treating peripherally or addressing the central nervous system
• When motor points make sense—and when they don’t
• How to choose a treatment strategy that matches the patient
• How to reassess so you know whether what you did actually worked
This is also a huge part of what practitioners learn in the EXSTORE™ Orthopedic System.

Over three days, Dr. Lombardi teaches the complete system he uses in practice:
Patient Intake → EXSTORE™ Assessment → Treatment Selection → Reassessment → Treatment Planning
EXSTORE™ is designed to be fast, clinically efficient, and repeatable—giving you a framework for determining what to treat and how to treat it, rather than relying on guesswork.
If you’re ready to move beyond collecting techniques and start developing a complete system for clinical decision-making, this is the class.
