You can’t cut out PAIN

Client:     My surgeon says I need surgery

Dr Scott:  Did you read the door?

Pain as a vital sign

Pain is now being used as a VITAL SIGN, no longer a SUBJECTIVE self-reporting symptom.

What does this mean?

Blood pressure, pulse, respiration, temperature

are measurable, numerical – OBJECTIVE.

       PAIN is not objective; it is subjective!

Everyone’s experience of pain is different.

 

 Dr Scott says

In my generation of clinicians, we were taught

Proper examination and assessment

Develop a working diagnosis

Tests-X Rays-Imaging should confirm what you already know

Not the other way around

Tests and images do not MAKE the diagnosis, they should CONFIRM the diagnosis !

Back to BASICS

Treat the PERSON, not the FILE!

Primary Care doctors are minimally trained to do a comprehensive/diagnostic Spinal Exam.

They send out to Specialists and Surgeons

80% of non-emergency doctor visits are Neuro-Musculo-Skeletal in nature.

Fortunately, most are not pathological or life-threatening.

Overkill: Many back-pain patients are NOT surgical candidates.

Dr Scott: 

How many hours in a day?

How many hours are you doing rehab?

Answer:  Probably not enough

Unfortunately, millions of people per year walk out of a medical office with

non-pathological, unresolved back/body pain and discomfort,

without a cohesive plan for rehab, hence no hope for recovery.

 

 

 

PAIN & Discomfort can OFTEN be reduced/resolved with proper exercise/rehab and with Non-Pharmaceutical treatment IF people are willing to do the work
