MY HEALTH RIGHTS

Some people who injure themselves whether in a work-related, road traffic or a sports injury heal very quickly. Some individuals heal very slowly. In some patients what was initially a localised injury causing a local pain ends up becoming, sometimes in the more extreme cases, a whole-body pain.
When healing slows down or even stops it is important to ask: Why is this happening?While local therapies and a biomechanical approach to sports ands motor vehicle injuries is useful we need to investigate the patient who is not recovering more holistically rather than merely cranking up the anti-inflammatories more, giving another shot of steroid or becoming more ‘aggressive’ with the physio.
