How to Get a Scan With Scan.com
This episode takes a look at scans, why scans might be needed and how they can helpScan.com was founded to make scanning accessible for clients and support earlier diagnosis making a positive difference in patient journeys and recoveryHear about the clinical pathway for getting a scan with Scan.com and why their process supports accurate and clear information along with the next steps through an integrated system and pathways that support the patient journey
KEY TAKEAWAYS
There is a clinical pathway that is followed alongside the option to be referred for scanning if appropriate
We use each process depending on the clinical situation, but the scans are complementary to each other
The patient won’t know necessarily know what the most appropriate scan will be, and when you have been screened you will be directed to the most appropriate appointment
With a scan, it’s important that it’s carried out as part of a process with a clinician
You can be a clinician and make a referral on the platform
Ultrasounds are an important scan for peripheral muscular-skeletal conditions
BEST MOMENTS‘We now offer MRI, ultrasounds, X-rays and CTs’‘Lots of reports can be so confusing for patients and we make sure the patients understand and know what’s relevant’There’s a whole package on offer’

All About the SacroIliac Joint with Wilfried Simon AKA the Spine Physio
The sacroiliac joint is an area that remains contentious despite all of the research that’s taken place and in this episode, we are chatting to Wilfried Simon, an osteopath and physio from Belgium about the misconceptions, if it can be a cause of pain and what to do if it is
KEY TAKEAWAYS
It’s a connection point but there isn’t much movement, only 3 degrees and its deep within the spine
If you want the patient to be able to treat themselves and achieve autonomy they have to understand what’s wrong
When you have manipulation it’s about what it creates overall including how the person thinks about it
Identify the movement that is painful and work with the patient to make the movement less sensitive through changing the axis of the movement and building the confidence of the patient to complete movements
Trust the future and the process, not very day is the same, not every day is pain free but that’s what make the patient stronger and you stronger
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s important to treat the person not the problem’
‘There is aways a combination of what’s happening mechanically to the joint and how the patient perceives and feels about what’s happening’

Why I Should Do my Exercises? A Good Analogy for Understanding
Dave and Rob are having a behind the treatment room door chat about their working week as chiropractors
They discuss the importance of exercise plans and how increasing functional capacity is an important element of any treatment plan and share a great analogy to help understanding
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Any conservative or passive care doesn’t necessarily decrease pain from issues such as osteoarthritis
People assume massage is aimed at reducing pain but its about increasing functional capacity
If we improve the capacity of someone’s knee health then it means they can do more
Exercise increases the capacity and your threshold so you are increasing functional capacity
You have to look at the bigger picture, if you knee or back is stopping you doing the things you want in life then surgery may be the option to consider
If you are utilising exercise as part of your treatment plan you need to look at usage and function as well as lessening pain levels
Having an expectation of no pain can result in less resilience
BEST MOMENTS
‘You may be able to do more with the same amount of pain’
‘Pain is a very normal aspect of society’
‘We can usually increase your capacity but this may not lessen the level of pain’

Can the Name of my Diagnosis Do More Harm Than Good?
Dave and Rob are talking about diagnostic labels and particularly those for lower back pain
Lower back pain is a complex and multifactorial condition and a specific diagnosis may not reflect the underlying causes or mechanisms for the pain so does a specific label help or hinder?
This is a learning episode where the discussion is a great opportunity to carefully consider what you do as a clinician with the evolution of diagnostic labelling
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The research is now saying a diagnostic label is not as important as previously thought
There is back pain that needs a specific diagnosis but this is not the case for the majority of non-specific back pain
With non-specific back pain we know it’s nothing sinister or serious and what’s left is a combination of other things
Many things can be contributing to the pain and the treatments and outcomes are similar for non-specific back pain
Understanding the multifactorial and compounding aspect of non-specific back pain means there are a multitude of things you can do to help yourself
The vast majority of patients will be better in 12 weeks
It makes sense for us to stop using these labels and be better at explaining
BEST MOMENTS
‘Our previous notion of a single answer to find is a bit immature’
‘A more holistic approach may lead to better outcomes’
‘This is evolving and changing our diagnostic labelling in line with current research’
