Origin of the Term

Back pain relating to stress is not a new health condition. It was first discovered as well as diagnosed in the 1820s. This sort of diagnosis is called psycho-physiological or psychosomatic.

Dr. Edward Shorter wrote a book called From Paralysis tors in the 19th century believed these results and diagnosis even though there wasn’t any proof of irritation in the spine.

Many physicians would plant sympto stay sane. If there was not a medical reason for spinal irritation, then it could be a psychological problem.

The idea of emotional strain causing back pain was made popular by John Sarno. He decided to call this condition tension myositis syndrome (TMS). Sarno also teaches about medicine as well as rehabilitation at New York University.

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.
