Where do I hurt? Is it a nerve? Am I experiencing a ‘temperature strain’ or a neckcramp?These are the most common questions we need to ask during a clinical examination. The answers will not only determine the outcome, but they will also function as a parallel healing mechanism. Hence, the patient must be as precise as possible (see article: http://physiolysis.com/v3/index.php?id=51).
Firstly, it is imperative to know the exact diagnosis of the atomical structure that is suffering.
There are three fundamental anatomical structures in the human body. The muscular tissue, which is the executant organ, the nervous tissue (central and peripheral), which transmits the motion commands and the joints that receive the movements. Therefore, a doctor or a physiotherapist, during the clinical examination, should establish which structure is suffering in order to perform the necessary specific clinical tests that will define which elements are responsible for the clinical image However, each individual case is different, and it is not always possible to figure out what exactly the patient is going through.
All of the above aim to emphasize that each healing program applied for general diagnosis, such as neck pain, knee pain, back ache (lumbago), strain (without specifying the group of muscles injured), arthritis, is not tailored to your injury. The personal urge to understand what exactly is in pain will guide us to produce a customized rehabilitation program that will determine how long you will need it and how effective it will be (i.e., chiropractic, therapeutic massage).
