Had some thoughts about helping patients become anti-fragile after reading a great book about psychological trauma and PTSD.

The suffering experienced with pain can have similarities to the suffering from mental trauma and I think the strategies laid on in book “The End of Trauma can be instructive.

One trait I learned is something called cognitive flexibility, and I think it hurts patients and clinicians a like when we become very rigid about how recovery has to look and what can and can’t be done.

Let me know your thoughts on this and resilience as I think they resilience is a stepping stone to anti-fragility

A lot of people have gotten into the stock market in the past year. In many ways, investing and trading can be similar to the healing process.⁣
⁣
We all wish that our healing and recovery would just go up in a straight line, but unfortunately it doesn’t work like that most of the time.⁣
⁣
When you are recovering from an injury or a chronic condition, even if you are doing everything right, you will have up days and down days.⁣
⁣
On up days, it’s easy to convince yourself that you are fixed or cured. On down days, it makes you think that your condition is hopeless and you’ll never get better.⁣
⁣
Sometimes we have to zoom out to see where we have come from in order to know if we are going in the right direction.⁣
⁣
In our office, we like to look at the trend of someone’s progress. We like to see if a person is having more good days than bad, and if their ability to cope with bad days gets better.⁣
⁣
Flare ups can happen, especially with chronic and .⁣
⁣
It’s hard to keep the energy to focus on progress when you don’t feel well, but it’s really important to develop that resilience so you don’t give up on your recovery too soon.⁣
⁣
Remember, that it is important to know that you are making the right investment into your health. Don’t treat your body like a meme stock that will shoot up 1000% overnight but has a high chance of crashing.⁣
⁣
Keep investing into the things that have proven benefits over time, and your health portfolio will continue to grow.

🧠Functional Neurology: Identifying Shades of Gray in Brain Function using exam and diagnostics.🧠

Our exam and diagnostics involve an in-depth look at different aspects of biomechanical and neurological health.⁣
⁣
While you may have had an X-Ray, balance test, or eye-movement test done in the past, the things that we look for on these tests are different than most doctors.⁣
⁣
Most physicians are using these tests to identify a specific pathology. So if your X-Ray doesn’t show a fracture, if you don’t fall on your balance test, or if you don’t show an obvious nystagmus, then these tests are deemed to be normal.⁣
⁣
The problem is that this assumes that dysfunction is a black and white issue. There are enormous shades of gray in the functionality of the brain and the body.⁣
⁣
An elite athlete can show signs of an underperforming cerebellum. They may not show it in the classic sense of a tremor, but they show some sloppy rapid hand movements or inaccurate fast eye movements.⁣
⁣
A patient with mild weakness and pain on one side of their body may not show signs of stroke on an MRI, but they may have problems with 2 point discrimination or mental rotation cognitive tests indicating a problem in the parietal lobe.⁣
⁣
These aren’t identifiable pathologies that have a medical insurance code, but they provide a window in what that patient is experiencing and how we can help improve it.⁣
⁣
Not every test needs a pathology, but every test we do needs a rationale for why we do it.

Cervical instability is getting greater awareness but we don’t know enough about how much is too much and what helps and what doesn’t.

This space is ripe for nocebos so please protect your mind from bad and predatory health information that want to sell you cures.

𝗟𝗲𝗳𝘁 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘃𝘀 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻: 𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀⁣
⁣
There’s some confusion about the functions of the two sides of the brain, so let’s talk about some myths and facts about brain hemisphericity.⁣
⁣
We know that the the brain is organized into right and left hemispheres, but do these hemispheres have unique functions?⁣
⁣
One of the most common beliefs is that personality traits are left or right brained. It’s typically thought that the left brain is for logic and problem solving, while the right brain is for creativity and spontaneity. Therefore people can train their left Brain by doing math, and train their right brain by doing art.⁣
⁣
Verdict: 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲⁣
⁣
A number of studies have found that logic and creativity tasks tend to light up both sides of the brain. Additionally, the brains of very creative or very logical people don’t tend to show much difference from one side to the other.⁣
⁣
Now in we do look for differences in right vs left Brain, but it’s not based on behavior or personality traits. ⁣
⁣
There are some brain functions that are organized by left and right brain predominance.⁣
⁣
For example, we know that contracting a muscle on the left side uses mostly the right motor cortex. We know that perceiving touch on the right side is mostly perceived by the left sensory cortex. We also know that when strokes hit these parts of the brain, we can have a paresis or loss of sensation on the opposite side of the body. ⁣
⁣
What might be less known outside of a neurology office is that language and speech is a very left brain dominant function, while visuospatial awareness and attention is a very right brain biased function.⁣
⁣
This was also born out of studies on stroke patients who develop bizarre presentations. Where specific strokes in the left brain can leave some patients with severe speech and language deficits, while some right sided strokes can leave a patient ignoring the whole left side of their body!⁣
⁣
The stories on these cases documented in “Phantoms in the Brain” by Ramachandran are really incredible.⁣
⁣
As always, and are endlessly fascinating!

𝗢𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗧𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀⁣
⁣
Patients with dizziness can present with abnormalities in their head and eye positions. A classic example of this is called an ocular tilt reaction.⁣
⁣
An ocular tilt reaction occurs when damage occurs to some of the pathways that affect the brain stem or the vestibular system. These pathways help to keep your eyes level with the horizon and form the basis of the righting reflex.⁣
⁣
The righting reflex ensures that you see the world level with the horizon even when you tilt your head to the side. Whenever you tilt your head to the side, your eyes roll to compensate. This is why you can tilt your head sideways, and you still perceive the world as straight.⁣
⁣
When there is an injury to the vestibular system (otoliths) or something affects the eye movement pathways in the brainstem, this ability can be broken.⁣
⁣
This results in the patient having eyes rotating abnormally and can cause an abnormal tilt of the head.⁣
⁣
Clinicians can use knowledge of these pathways to pinpoint where in the brainstem or vestibular pathway that damage may have occurred. It can also help them differentiate between a strabismus from a cranial nerve 4 lesion or a vestibular/brainstem problem.⁣
⁣
This is important to know because these pathological tilt reactions are an important sign of a peripheral or central cause of dizziness/imbalance that may look like a cervical spine/alignment issue.⁣
⁣
We have to be knowledgeable about some of these pathways because these are cases in which we may not be able to fix someone’s head tilt from something like an upper cervical adjustment because the neural pathways allowing for a normal righting reflex just aren’t there anymore so we shouldn’t chase after it.⁣
⁣
It may allow us to provide compensation mechanisms to help improve balance and stability.⁣

𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙍𝙤𝙤𝙩 𝘾𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙨: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘪𝘵𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨⁣
⁣
Most people seeking help outside traditional medicine are often looking for someone to find the “root cause” of their suffering.⁣
⁣
Often this means looking for an organic biological cause for illness, usually using tests like imaging or blood work.⁣
⁣
Finding the primary cause of Illness is very important in cases where someone’s life can be in imminent danger. Things like infections, autoimmune disease, tumors, or organ damage can be treated effectively.⁣
⁣
Unfortunately most things that cause pain and suffering don’t have a straight forward biological mechanism. In humans, every condition we face has elements of biological, psychological, and social factors. Our experience is the net result of how these factors interact in our lives.⁣
⁣
When patients become entrenched in finding a single biological cause for their condition, it often leads to a lot of time and expense spent on things that are not likely to meaningfully improve quality of life.⁣
⁣
It also takes us away from doing things that may be really helpful to improve recovery.⁣
⁣
So when I talk about psychological factors like anxiousness and stress, or sociological factors like work and community, it doesn’t mean that I think your condition is imaginary or in your head.⁣
⁣
It means we want to address all of the elements of your condition, because you’re not just a bag of biological parts, you are a whole human being!⁣
⁣
And at the end of the day, the psych and social factors all contribute to your autonomic nervous system which becomes biology all over again.⁣
