Episode 373 - Rick and Susan Wood: A Story of Bilateral Thigh Pain, Inability to Walk, Suggested Spine Surgery and Eventually Zero Pain, No Operation Necessary

56 minutes

In episode 373 of Season 11 we're joined by Rick, a 67 year old male retired from the telecommunications industry who began having bilateral thigh pain and inability to walk. He was diagnosed by his doctor of having spinal stenosis and told he could try physical therapy but may need surgery. We also speak with Susan Wood, his physical therapist who made some observations of his history and his physical examination which didn't match up with the classic stenosis presentation. Rick and Susan recount his response to the care Susan gave him and we hear how he's doing now, months later, pain free and nearly back to full function. This week on MCF!

If you’re in the Nashville, Tennessee USA area and you’re having trouble with pain and movement let me point you to Susan Wood and her clinic PT in Motion. You can find them at https://pt-inmotion.com/

If you’re in the USA and you’d like to find if there’s a therapist in your area go to www.mckenzieinstituteusa.org and use their therapist locator.

And if you’re not able to use either of these methods and you’d like help you can reach out to me on my contact us page and I’ll do my best to help you find a qualified clinician.

We hope to deliver this content to the committed professional who wants to improve his/her care and we hope to do it in a way that is easily accessible, the world over, in today's technological age.
