This week we are looking at an article review covering a brilliant paper that has recently been published out of Hong Kong. I have been waiting for a paper like this for some time now, that looks systematically at all the literature behind the current approach to pain management education that we are encouraged to provide to our patients about lower back pain and medical imaging. As I read through this article I kept thinking to myself yes, this is the concept I have been taught but I can’t recall which literature supports it . Now we have an excellent summary to help advance our understanding of pain management further. It is a must-read and very well written and thoroughly research paper about the role of medical imaging for lower back pain. They touch on all the research we all currently know but pull it together in a compelling argument with many great key phrases we can use to educate patients better about the role that imaging will play in their recovery. Below are the k...

In this week’s short video, I wanted to share a question I got a while back from one of my clients. If you’re struggling with Medicare issues, I hope this helps! The question I got asked is if you can treat someone who has Medicare, even if the person doesn’t care that they can’t use it. Technically, no. There are, however, certain things you can do. If this person just needs help with walking and some stretching, you can do exercise instruction or personal training with them. But if you’re going down this road of utilizing exceptions to the Medicare rule, there’s a few things you need to do. You need to be well-educated on the policies and procedures and how it relates to a cash-based practice. You need to have a consent or agreement that the patient signs, and you need to be very clear that what you’re providing is not covered. Most importantly, you should consult an attorney to discuss where you lie in this and the possible ramifications of it all. The best thing I can s...

Stretching a muscle with high tone works, AFTER the muscle fatigues or you stretch long enough to change the perception of stretch. That's not normally a rapid process as the more the nervous system perceives stretch, muscles tend to increase in tone to fight the passive stretch. Inhibiting a muscle by passively slacking it rapidly reduces tone, so you can start dynamically moving into the restricted range of motion and then start loading once the pattern is reinforced.
