everything’s a nail – how does that apply to medicine?  If you have one tool then you  use that tool for everything you can see. 

The question is: is the tool good for everything you see? Let me give you a case of that. 

 

To hammer, everything's a nail

Knee Pain When Walking

The lady had issues with her knees.  Whenever she walked over any bump on the floor, she would feel it in her knees.  That made it very difficult to go hiking as the dirt roads would bother her.

She had seen a practitioner in the past who mainly used prolozone which strengthens knees by making the ligaments stronger. That made sense but then I examined her.  I examined the knees for any signs of instability and there were none. 

I then checked the nerves in her knees and realized that the nerves were what was causing the pain. I did PIT(therapy for nerves) on the nerves with immediate results. 

She walked around and realized that the knees weren’t bothering her as much. 

 

Specialized Pain Therapies

The previous practitioner’s main tool was prolozone.  So that tool was used quite often. When I examined the knee, I checked the areas that could cause pain which are the joint, the nerves, and the ligaments. 

The nerves were the one that caused pain so I chose a therapy that would  treat the nerves.  Treating the nerves helped the pain so that she could feel some improvement right away. 

I have several tools that I use – one for treating joints(prolozone), one for treating nerves(PIT), and one for treating nervous system(neural therapy). 

Choosing the best advanced pain treatment method for the situation makes for better results. 

 

So when you see a health provider make sure that the treatment matches the issue.  Meaning that the treatment makes the health issue better.

And if the practitioner has multiple tools for the same issue that may be better as that means there is a choice.

But it’s not just about choosing the practitioner who has multiple tools, it is also about the practitioner – whether you get along with them and their skill level.
