The language of back pain — how people describe the pain — is noteworthy and revealing. It reflects the different beliefs that are held by patients, docto pain.
Patients use common descriptions tors or therapists.
Health professionals spend their days listening tories so they can plan effective, therapeutic treatments. It is a daily challenge.
Where do people learn the language of back pain? Some people learn it from family or friends with similar pain experiences. Others learn it from Internet research in their attempts at self-diagnoses. Unfortunately, the words people use to wrong beliefs, wrong treatments and further pain.
Docto pain.
Health professionals have their own beliefs about pain, and they may be chronic sufferers themselves. Rather than referring their patients to the facts — and highlighting possibilities over limitations — they can educate their patients.
Spine problems affect people across the globe and everyone, from docto think about these problems in a new, whole-person way. Since words form an internal dialogue in the minds of patients, health professionals should choose their words carefully. The right language is crucial for a better understanding of back pain.
In this instance, an athlete was originally diagnosed with minor quadriceps muscle strain and was treated for four weeks, with unsatisfactory results. When he came to our clinic, the muscle was not healing, and the patients’ muscle tissue had already begun to atrophy.
Upon examination using MSUS, we discovered that he had a full muscle thickness tear that had been overlooked by his previous provider. To mitigate damage and promote healing, surgery should have been performed immediately after the injury occurred. Because of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment, the patient now has permanent damage that cannot be corrected.
The most important advantage of Ultrasound over MRI imaging is its ability to zero in on the symptomatic region and obtain imaging, with active participation and feedback from the patient. Using dynamic MSUS, we can see what happens when patients contract their muscles, something that cannot be done with MRI. From a diagnostic perspective, this interaction is invaluable.

Demonstration of how very small muscle defect is made and revealed to be a complete tear with muscle contraction under diagnostic sonography (not possible with MRI)
