Our main goal is to harmonize the human body, meaning we evaluate and treat the patient globally since an injury never comes alone.
Our entire body is interconnected; many systems are involved in any movement of our body, including vascular, neurological, muscular, joint, tendon, ligament, and even visceral systems. Pain is nothing more than a body alert indicating that something is not functioning correctly.
Thus, an injury may originate in an area far from the pain zone and also produce associated pains due to compensation.
Did you know that pain on the inner side of the knee can be an alert for a lumbar problem, or that shoulder pain can be caused by a muscle in the dorsal area of the back, or that even a lung problem can signal pain in the middle part of the back?
