The Weakly Muslce � Structure vs. Function

Douglas Jolly15 Mar, 2022Health

Ever wonder why some surgeries (not all) are unsuccessful? Here is the topic of discussion for the week. Traditional medicine, specifically Orthopedic Surgery is more rooted in structure rather than function. A surgeon will take an imaging study and compare it to what ?normal? looks like. If there is a discrepancy, they know that they can surgically make the abnormal structure look more like the normal structure. When this proves to be unsuccessful, the assumption would have to be made that their structure was not the cause of the issue in the first place. We see this all the time. Someone with moderate-severe symptoms and an essentially normal imaging study.
