Back in Control with David Hanscom, MD

The Patterns of Chronic Pain


Listen Later

In this episode, Dr. David Hanscom continues his discussion with Rick Olderman, a sports and orthopedic physical therapist. He discusses

his approach to treating chronic back pain by identifying and correcting three fundamental patterns: extension, flexion, and side-bending problems. He explains how these patterns are often caused by repetitive movements and compensatory behaviors, and how addressing the underlying issues can lead to significant pain relief. He emphasizes the importance of looking at the whole person and considering factors such as walking patterns, fascial tension, and reflex patterns. He also shares insights on how stress and emotional factors can contribute to pain through chemical responses in the body.
