I know some doctors are phenomenal and truly like actually take the time to learn about physical rehab. But most doctors in your general setting, in your general, whether it's a hospital, even a private practice, so many osteopaths, surgeons, like they don't understand rehab whatsoever. Or their understanding of rehab is from a failed perspective.
They know rehab is going to fail because traditional PT and traditional methods of chiropractors don't work. Like your run-of-the-mill PT and your run-of-the-mill chiro, you will see no changes. Or if you do, then your issue is that minor, and all it needed was a little bit of some kind of outside influence, and it can get better on its own.
But for so many people, like most of my patients, they've seen three, four, five other therapists, And I'm like, I'm the sixth one. And the final one, but the sixth one, right? And so, but that's healthcare.
So, you know, either the osteopaths or the doctors that people go to, they, like you said, are not informed about physical rehab or they have such a low expectation of the physical rehab space that it almost like doesn't matter.
Like they know they're going to have to go for surgery anyway because, you know, rehab is going to fail and they're going to convince the patient that they need it because traditional rehab failed.
Thank you.
Yeah, and just getting better guidance. I mean, to that point where you just said, I have a patient whose PCP is,
literally like my patient wants them to like hey i my knee hurts um i i really want to be able to bike and swim and hike like i i really love being active um you know and she's she's in like you know middle age about 50s or so and the doctor looks at her and goes why like just chill like You know, you're getting older. Stop doing stuff. Like, what?
Oh, my God. I told her immediately, get a new PCP. Get a new doctor. Forget it. You know, that's crazy. Like, oh, you're getting older? Do less. In what world would you need to do more, if anything? You know, look at those people. I just saw a video on, I love social media because you come across so many cool things.
I just saw someone, a video, a montage of like this 92-year-old holding herself up by his, like on the bars just with his arms. You know, this like 85-year-old woman doing dips, you know, on a bench. Like people can do phenomenal things as long as they don't stop moving. The more you stop moving, the more pain you'll have. Oh, it's so true. It's nuts.
Going back to the surgical route, I had a patient on the younger side, I think she was like late 30s, early 40s. She had a hip replacement and then five revision surgeries, five. And she was supposed to have a sixth one, a sixth one, a revision of the initial hip replacement at that young of an age. And like when she, when she, she couldn't do anything when she got to my office, like nothing.
And within a few weeks, like she canceled the revision surgery and she was, she was like, we got her back on track. She got back to her gym. She got back, she got her life back. But oh my God, a hip replacement and then five revisions. That's crazy.
And I've had so many people who've gotten joint replacements and still had the same pain or worse because their initial pain, like you said before, was never structural. It was tissue. It was a tissue issue. And that pain still remained. Now it just got operated on and it's even worse.
I actually, I really, really agree with you on the hormonal side of things because especially for men too, because men's testosterone definitely drops off as does their estrogen. But for women especially, especially around menopause age, that drop off in estrogen and testosterone as well is huge.
Like, it's super important to keep track of, and most women don't know to keep track of one, let alone both, and how to actually request from their doctors, like, if they have to get referred for blood work. Like, their doctors don't even do full profiles.
oh yeah yeah and that that's exactly right like i've been checking my hormone levels everything since i was about 22. like i i want to know my i want to know my baselines like as early as i wish i could have done it earlier but you know whatever i have them now um i recommend to every single patient regardless of age to like hey if you're going for a blood panel like make it a full one right whether you're 20 30 40 doesn't matter like get
Here are the tests that you should ask from your doctor to put on your referral. Get this, right? And then not only the hormone, but even markers like ApoB, apolipoprotein B. Nobody checks that. Why not? Why do you only check cholesterol and lipid profile? You need to check the ApoB as well. There's so many tests.
that aren't tested, that is critical to someone's health and well-being, whether it's for pain relief or just overall longevity and preventative care. If your ApoB value is super high, your chance of a heart event is increased. Why don't we try to manage and drop it down? People don't check.
Well, I think that any cessation of movement leads to deterioration, whether it's through joint structures, whether it's through neural tension and then the provocation of pain, whether it's weakness and lack of support through the joints, especially if someone is prone to hypermobility.
Like I work with a very specific condition called EDS, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which there are not very many competent providers even for that condition. And it's like there's so many different factors of what can happen. But, you know, this kind of like cascading effect where it's like if one domino falls, so many other dominoes fall with it.
