I’m much more interested in the cause of the health problem or injury than just merely addressing its symptoms. I like to tell my patients that I am going to diagnose the health process that has gone awry, not just the symptoms. For example, an aching knee might be due to something else taking place, distant to where the actual pain is felt in the knee. An imbalance of the muscles of the leg and f
oot could be the cause of knee pain in one person. For someone else, the knee hurts because of improper footwear. For another sufferer, the knee pain might be associated with too much stress from a poor diet and over training.
