📈 Our pain healing journeys are frequently more complex than treating a single diagnosis and the anatomy involved.
1️⃣ One patient may simply need help treating the diagnosis of a lumbar disc herniation.
2️⃣ A second patient may need help treating the same diagnosis, except it’s a repeat occurrence, they’ve seen multiple providers for treatment, it hasn’t been successful treated in the past, and this time they’re unable to work and cover the expenses for their family.
✅ Both of these patients have the same diagnosis and can be treated, but may require completely different approaches.
💙 The second patient is why it’s helpful to give psychological and social aspects of healing attention - to treat the person, when treating the diagnosis alone isn’t enough.
🥸 Pain is both a tissue related and nervous system related experience.
