Easily the number one reason I see for ongoing shoulder pain, especially shoulder pain that persists despite treatment, is a failure to account for the neck as a source of symptoms.

Well over half of the shoulder pain patients I see have symptoms that are driven by the neck, and require treatment directed at the neck for pain to resolve.

By far the best way to determine this is a well done McKenzie Method assessment.

Stories like this highlight why the McKenzie Method continues to lap the field 💪💪

Last week, I ran into a patient I treated for low back pain about a year ago. That assessment consisted of a small handful of visits, during which we discovered a single direction of spinal bending that dramatically reduced her pain. After a couple of weeks of consistently performing that movement a...

The following scenario happens all the time….

An MRI is ordered for someone with chronic, non-traumatic shoulder pain. The image reveals some form of rotator cuff abnormality (tendinopathy, partial tear, etc). From that point on, every step in treatment (physical therapy, injections, surgery, etc) is directed at the MRI finding. Years down the line, the patient is either no better or slightly improved.

The following question should have been asked from the start, ‘Is the rotator cuff abnormality the source of this patient’s pain, or is it simply an incidental finding?’

In most cases, imaging alone isn’t able to provide us with this information. And if the abnormality is unrelated to pain, all that treatment would be directed at the wrong source.

One of the major hindrances in establishing a therapeutic alliance with patients is the way they have been educated prior to seeing me.

Whether they were told they have the ‘spine of an 80 year old’ or that their ‘knees are shot’, these labels often become branded in their minds and serve as a major obstacle during assessment.
