Ep 21: No One Is Listening To Judy's Hips

Judy has had a lot of care targeted to her low back but she keeps notifying her providers that her pain is in her hips. She reports that no one has evaluated the pain in her hips. She has a hard time standing and walking, but with some care during the evaluation, we made a significant dent in her symptoms.

Ep 20: Will Lisa Need A THA Or Is It All In Her Muscles?

Lisa is a massage therapist that has had 2 orthopedic consults. She states one wants to replace her joint and one wants to focus on the muscles. As part of my differential diagnosis, I performed some treatment during the evaluation to figure out if this is more muscular vs more joint related.

Ep 19 Franklin the 5th Turtle

Franklin is an older gentleman with a very sedentary lifestyle that spends an extensive time in long sitting positions such as in a recliner with his feet up. He has developed a rounded thoracic spine which I like to call a turtle shell. He will have to make some lifestyle changes to get his pain under control.
