“The doctor says I have the worst arthritis he’s ever seen”
This is one of the most frustrating and over-used quotes in the history of medicine…
My response to this is usually “So what? Do you have wrinkles? Do they hurt?”
Because that is what arthritis should be compared to: wrinkles on the inside… it’s a normal aging process that can be affected by many, many variables. Some people have more and some people have less. And just because you have it (which nearly everyone over 50 has some degree), doesn’t mean you have to have pain! We’ve seen plenty of “the worst X-rays ever” of people with ZERO pain, and plenty with relatively minimal or no arthritis who have TERRIBLE pain.
But those who do have pain should never rush into surgery as indicated in the first slide. There are SO many ways to get yourself better.
At SOPT we look at you as a whole person, develop a plan for your goals and success, and start implementation at your first visit.
Your plan might include the use of dry needling, which has single-handedly changed the way I approach treatment of arthritic knees, hips, and shoulders (among others).
If you’re still on the fence about whether we can help with your pain, just read a few of our Google reviews to see how dry needling and SOPT has changed the lives of our patients time and time again.
