Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter explains a holistic approach to joint care, emphasizing that joint problems are often more than local structural damage and can have physical, emotional, and metabolic contributors. He stresses listening to patients and seeking root causes beyond arthritis or joint damage.
It can be physical, it can be emotional, and it can be metabolic. The most important thing that we do is we listen, we spend time with the patient. We really want to get to the root cause of what's going on. And sometimes that root cause can be much more than just joint pain. It's just much more than arthritis or any kind of damage that we have in the joint itself. It can be mental, it can be physical, it can be emotional, and it can be metabolic. And so all of these things we want to combine into our treatments as we work on these joints.
