Joint Pain? Here’s What Doctors Aren’t Telling You!

Through my career, I sort of saw this. You know, we're just focused on that joint. Are we focused on the general patient health? Do we want to reduce complications by helping patients with nutrition? You know, I had patients that would come to us, and in a traditional orthopedic practice, you know, you're seeing 50 patients a day, and, you know, so the line is, well, we need to do a joint replacement. Let's go ahead and lose some weight, be healthy, hard stop. That's all of the information that we could give. And so, as we go through this sort of spectrum, as you work through those patients, what I found through my career is that we're really, really focused more getting a patient into an operation than getting that patient healthy and getting to the root cause of what might be more factors to that pain.
