Scars
See Part 1 of this newsletter series for the beginning of taking a good patient history.
While taking the patient history, another one of many vital questions is, “Have you had ANY surgeries? Do you have any scars?” This may seem like a redundant question. But you can have scars from a scrape or fall, and not require surgery. And maybe the scar is located distant from the symptom. But through biotensegrity and distorted cellular electromagnetics, the scar(s) have systemic adverse effects on tissue, muscles, and organs as well as cellular, neurological communication, local and systemic.
Patients commonly do not answer the surgery question accurately. And maybe not at all. This can be due to their (false) reality that the surgery or surgeries were years before the symptom flare-up; therefore, surgeries are unrelated and irrelevant. Your health, or lack thereof, is cumulative. Surgeries and old injuries come back to manifest locally or systemically. Dig deep, my clinical detectives. Past operations or accidents are a big one for ultimately setting up the treatment program backed by tangible causes.
