THE ODDS ARE, YES! While we treat over 65 different diagnoses, our data reveals that there are SEVEN prevalent issues our clients tend to struggle with. So, you are likely in good company when it comes to your ailment. Next week we begin a series to help educate you and provide you with tips on how you might address those issues. We will take a deep dive into specific areas of the body, common complaints, and some of the causes behind those complaints.
THE HUMAN BODY IS A COMPLEX SYSTEM
As you can see from the images above, the human body is a fascinating system involving many bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. All of these areas must work cooperatively to allow the body to function maximally. It's no wonder we treat over 65 different diagnoses. While we treat almost everything, seven diagnoses tend to present most consistently.
Without further ado...here are your top 7
DRUMROLL PLEASE!
The most commonly treated areas from most prevalent to least are as follows:
1. Low back
2. Shoulders
3. Knees
4. Hips
5. Upper back (thoracic spine)
6. Neck (cervical spine)
7. Ankles/feet
Of those areas, the most common complaints are pain, weakness, and limited ability to participate in activities. Keep in mind, that the cause of the problem in each of these areas varies widely and we will discuss these in greater detail as we highlight these top 7 and a few other regions our subscribers have suggested.
We look forward to teaching you more about your unique body and helping you to address some of the issues you may struggle with. While we will dedicate our upcoming newsletters to these topics over the course of this series, we also hope you will join us on Instagram for TEACHING TUESDAY...you won't want to miss our weekly in-depth discussions with our resident skeleton, David Bonie (no relation to David Bowie) 😂
