Musculoskeletal Problems
Musculoskeletal complaints are the most common problems seen in any practice and although Western Medicine is good with acute trauma and broken bones, it is very weak with soft tissue injuries. Unfortunately most problems we see usually involve soft tissue dysfunction where muscles and connective tissues are affected. It is one of the most poorly understood and least researched aspects of the human body and is usually ignored by Western doctors. These musculoskeletal problems are relegated as relatively unimportant and we Physicians have very little training to deal with these types of problems. Diagnosis and treatment is usually anatomical, which means it is treated where the problem presents. But this doesn’t address the functional complexity involved in the perpetuation of a problem and often results in unnecessary surgeries when local treatments fail.
I have explored many different modalities to help improve the functioning of the musculoskeletal system. Treating soft tissue dysfunction is essential for good health and helps resolve many chronic problems.
