Image
To add a little humor to the mix, this week goes over the steps needed to prove your therapy is effective, even when it’s not. When you decide you want to create your own treatment method and want to maximize profits, these steps will guide you in showing others just how effective your treatments are despite them being full of bologna. 5 Steps To Prove Your Therapy is Effective, Even When it Isn't by Cameron Faller 👉Develop a Strong Allegiance - Create a following of eager clinicians and individuals who believe your claims developing testimonials and statements for why it has helped them. 👉Increase Patient Expectations - Utilize as many contextual effects as you can such as the way you dress, the words you use, the complexity of the intervention, etc. to increase preconceived patient expectations. Strengthening the beliefs of the treatment is more likely to result in a placebo response further enhancing the belief in the treatment. 👉Conduct Research with the Right...

Can Botox Help Cervicogenic Vertigo?

Image
We recently read with interest a case report in 2020 by  Dr. Odderson in the Journal of Clinical Neuroscience  describing the resolution of Cervicogenic Vertigo using botulinum toxin (botox). Albeit a short literary piece, Dr. Odderson provides sufficient information with cause/effect relationship of success using botox for Cervicogenic Vertigo after failed physical therapy, course of prednisone and two cervical epidural steroid injections. Now before you go off and recommend botox for your dizzy and neck pain patients, let’s highlight 6 clinical characteristics about the patient as described in the study  (in bold)  and OUR impression (not bolded): This patient was also diagnosed with cervical dystonia by EMG.  Anyone who has treated a patient with cervical dystonia knows it is not straightforward cervical case, especially if adding on 10 years following a traumatic event and multiple system involvement to cause dizziness. I have actually recommende...

Top 5 Fridays! 5 Reason Why Direct Access to Physical Therapy is Beneficial

Image
🔥FRIDAY TOP 5🔥 To end this mini series on the topic of direct access, I have developed 5 reasons as to why it can be very beneficial. Each reason is paired with moderate-high quality evidence supporting it. 5 Reasons Direct Access to Physical Therapy is Beneficial by Cameron Faller 👉IT’S COST EFFECTIVE - Seeing a physical therapist first has resulted in decreased health care costs in a variety of studies. The most likely reason for the decreased costs include reduced imaging, medication prescriptions, and need to see a specialist. 👉REDUCES LONG-TERM OPIOID USE - A retrospective study found that individuals with low back pain who saw a physical therapist first were less likely to be associated with early and long-term opioid use. 👉IMPROVES HEALTH OUTCOMES AND LESSENS DISABILITY - A higher quality study analyzed the health outcomes and disability between individuals with sciatica who were referred to physical therapy early vs usual care (i.e. medications and ...

Untold Physio Stories - Do You (Mis)Understand Me?

Image
In this episode, Erson goes over a recent case that is fixated on "knee alignment." After a lot of education and back and forth debate about it's not ruminating on joint position, scans, knee fat pads and more. It turns out the patient was really talking about dynamic alignment as in knee stability during movement, not just joint position. It was a great lesson as defining what certain obvious (to clinicians) terms might mean and verifying whether or not a patient has the same definition might prevent a big misunderstanding.  Untold Physio Stories is sponsored by EDGE Health and Tech Solutions - we level up your website with full SEO optimization, turn it into a referral generating machine and do full G Suite and Telehealth integrations  Modern Manual Therapy Insiders - over 650 Exclusive videos, Research Reviews, Webinars, Online Discussion - learn easy to apply Clinical Practice Patterns, integrate Pain Science with Manual Therapy and Patient Education A...
