What are four critical factors to consider before getting surgery?
because you could be making a huge mistake, consider and listen to these four factors. It'll help you make a better decision. I'll start with the first one. Is there a structural mechanical problem that can't heal on its own? That's a very strong consideration.
Okay, you have to explain that because people don't understand sometimes the difference between like an acute injury versus chronic pain. So describe that because it's such a good topic, by the way. Yes. Because I can't tell you how many clients... that I trained that were recommended surgery when there was things that we could have done first.
Totally. And then there's situations where... You just have to. You have to. Right. And so if you have a structural, mechanical problem that can't heal on its own, that's essentially like... Like you have a torn ACL. It's torn. It's not going to heal back together.
It's not going to reattach itself.
Right. You have a torn pec completely. It's gone. You have a ligament that's severed completely. Your muscle, your supraspinatus is mostly or all torn, and it's just not going to heal on its own. You have to have surgery, right? Your body's not going to grow those ligaments back together. It's not going to fix. It's limited to what it can fix on its own. And in that case, surgery is absolutely essential. You need external help with that. Yeah, rehab and correctional exercise can only go so far. when it comes to helping a structural, mechanical break, you can definitely rehab yourself with an ACL tear so that you feel better, but you don't have an ACL. So that stability is gone. In fact, I know people like this.
I know people who had a torn ACL or PCL. Mm-hmm. And they never got it fixed because they stopped playing sports. And they could literally sit down and shift their lower leg forward or back. You ever seen that?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, especially you got nothing in there. It just keeps going. There's no kind of limitation to that. But yeah, but then there's the case where it's like it's just strained or it's stretched out. That's different. It was different, which I'm sure we'll get into that.
