Dr. Vince Leone explains why thoracic disc herniations get missed: they show up as atypical symptoms. He walks through the physical exam techniques to catch them and describes a spinal decompression treatment approach to help patients doctors have overlooked.
They're missing— they're not examining these the way they should be to recognize that they're dealing with a patient with a thoracic disc. They're not— some of the symptoms that many times arise from these are atypical. Mm-hmm. And therefore, we're going to teach the doctors what the symptoms, the signs and symptoms are of thoracic disc, how to properly examine for these, and then How we would go about treating these. And so there's— every doctor that's gonna be listening to this is gonna think of a patient as I'm presenting. They're like, oh crap, I know what this patient has now. Mm-hmm. And I've been missing it this whole time. And they're gonna— they're gonna— it's gonna open up this whole new, uh, subset of patients in their practice that they're gonna start to be able to use decompression on to help thoracic disc herniations.
