    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’ RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE https://www.instagram.com/the.spine.physio/?hl=en THE BACK PAIN PODCAST PROVIDER MAP - FINDING SOMEONE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR BACK PAIN https://thebackpainpodcast.com/index.php/members-map/ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Back Pain Podcast The Back Pain Podcast website The Back Pain Podcast recommended products affiliate link Our Rode Mixer https://amzn.to/3waU8bx Our Microphones https://amzn.to/3rzSZ9Z Second Microphone https://amzn.to/2ObKMeA XLR Cable https://amzn.to/3rBL8ZB Studio Headphones https://amzn.to/3u082LE Laptophttps://amzn.to/3dhfafT Our webcam https://amzn.to/31uUefQ  The Healthcare Co Polos - https://www.thehealthcare-co.com/en-gb ABOUT THE HOSTS Dave Elliott Dave is the owner of Advanced Chiropractic, a chain of Chiropractic and massage therapy clinics in Essex, UK.

    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’   THE BACK PAIN PODCAST PROVIDER MAP - FINDING SOMEONE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR BACK PAIN https://thebackpainpodcast.com/index.php/members-map/   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Back Pain Podcast The Back Pain Podcast website The Back Pain Podcast recommended products affiliate link Our Rode Mixer https://amzn.to/3waU8bx Our Microphones https://amzn.to/3rzSZ9Z Second Microphone https://amzn.to/2ObKMeA XLR Cable https://amzn.to/3rBL8ZB Studio Headphones https://amzn.to/3u082LE Laptophttps://amzn.to/3dhfafT Our webcam https://amzn.to/31uUefQ    ABOUT THE HOSTS Dave Elliott Dave is the owner of Advanced Chiropractic, a chain of Chiropractic and massage therapy clinics in Essex, UK.

    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’ THE BACK PAIN PODCAST PROVIDER MAP - FINDING SOMEONE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR BACK PAIN https://thebackpainpodcast.com/index.php/members-map/ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Back Pain Podcast The Back Pain Podcast website The Back Pain Podcast recommended products affiliate link Our Rode Mixer https://amzn.to/3waU8bx Our Microphones https://amzn.to/3rzSZ9Z Second Microphone https://amzn.to/2ObKMeA XLR Cable https://amzn.to/3rBL8ZB Studio Headphones https://amzn.to/3u082LE Laptophttps://amzn.to/3dhfafT Our webcam https://amzn.to/31uUefQ  ABOUT THE HOSTS Dave Elliott Dave is the owner of Advanced Chiropractic, a chain of Chiropractic and massage therapy clinics in Essex, UK.

    Example Low Back Pain Case - Collaboration With The Sports Therapy Association (STA)

    In this episode, Dave shares a detailed lower back pain case history and  takes specific questions from the audience in the journey to a diagnosis This is a fascinating insight into the approach that begins from the moment the clinician meets the patient through to the treatment journey and the factors that influence recovery   KEY TAKEAWAYS Whatever your discipline the tenets are the same when you talking about pain As osteopaths and chiropractors, we are talking the same words just in a different language A disc doesn’t have to present with radicular symptoms initially Back or cervical disc issues have to be considered When the range of motion is restricted isolating the areas and specific groups of muscles, joints and nerves can help with the diagnosis If the specific pain is on a full extension this is a classic sign of a set joint irritation If you experience pain over a period of time fear avoidance can become a part of the individual's experience The biggest test can be the basic test of ‘poking it’ Everything is testing and a provocative test can be seeing the patient coming into the room A test doesn’t have to have a name and make it onto your notes   BEST MOMENTS ‘The basic tenets of good care should be what you are going by’ ‘Identifying which one is the head honcho and ruling the show is what we are looking for’ ‘Your provocative test starts when you greet that patient’   THE BACK PAIN PODCAST PROVIDER MAP - FINDING SOMEONE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR BACK PAIN https://thebackpainpodcast.com/index.php/members-map/   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Back Pain Podcast The Back Pain Podcast website The Back Pain Podcast recommended products affiliate link Our Rode Mixer https://amzn.to/3waU8bx Our Microphones https://amzn.to/3rzSZ9Z Second Microphone https://amzn.to/2ObKMeA XLR Cable https://amzn.to/3rBL8ZB Studio Headphones https://amzn.to/3u082LE Laptophttps://amzn.to/3dhfafT Our webcam https://amzn.to/31uUefQ    ABOUT THE HOSTS Dave Elliott Dave is the owner of Advanced Chiropractic, a chain of Chiropractic and massage therapy clinics in Essex, UK.
