Did you know your ongoing concussion symptoms could be due to some deficiencies in your eyes? Some of the most common issues are eye tracking and your eyes converging on objects. Proper assessment will ensure these deficits are detected which can be rehabbed! #concussion #concussionrecovery #visualtherapy #chiropractor #sportsrehab #sportstherapy #yyc #inthelab

#Repost @theprehabguys with @get_repost You Are NOT Your MRI! . This was too good of a post from @rehabscience not to share. The relationship between pain and tissue damage is not always clear. Just because you have a disc bulge, for example, it does not necessarily mean that is the reason you have low back pain. In fact, it’s quite the opposite especially as we age as there is a high percentage of people that have signs of disc degeneration with NO pain (swipe to see gra...phics). . To flip the script a bit, the MRIs shown here are from a 32 year old male who presented to the hospital with severe back pain on two different occasions. On October 2012, the patient did not have any neurological deficits, so physical therapy and a short course of oral steroids were ordered and his pain resolved. . In October 2013, another MRI was ordered when the same patient once again entered the hospital with severe back pain. You would think, oh, it’s because he has a disc hernation, right? But no! This time around, his disc herniation was no longer visible...but he still had severe back pain! . What does this teach us . 1Pain does not necessarily indicate tissue damage. In both situations documented above, the patient had low back pain. At the time of the first episode, a potential tissue insult could be identified. This was not true at the time of the second episode of back pain. . 2Disc herniations can resolve with conservative care and time. The details of this individual’s rehab were not given, but it is important to know that relatively simple programs that include movements like walking, general low back mobility drills and low load resistance training exercises help the majority of people. A healthy dose of patience (up to 4-6 months) is important too. Zhong M, et al. Incidence of Spontaneous Resorption of Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Meta-Analysis. Pain Physician J. 2017. .
