We are in a current state of crisis when it comes to paying for our healthcare. Learn the simple truth that has led to this situation and more importantly find out what could be a major factor in the healing of this national disaster.
39. But the majority of patients
end up with pain
as their reward for exercising.
40. Pain ends our excitement to
exercise really fast.
So we end up right back where we started –
Nowhere.
41. 1 out of 2 people end up with all
sorts of musculoskeletal issues.
42. This leads us down another
“rabbit hole” of insanity.
The costs associated with
musculoskeletal problems.
43. In 2008
110,340,000 individuals
complained of one or more
symptoms to their
musculoskeletal system.
That number will be significantly higher in 2013.
44. In other words:
every other person
over 18 years old
has a musculoskeletal complaint.
46. 3 out of 4 persons (69%) aged 75
years or older report one or more
musculoskeletal symptoms.
So, the older we grow,
the more likely we are to develop
a musculoskeletal problem.
49. 17 million (17,000,000) adults 18
years and older reported that
they have difficulty performing
routine daily activities of life
without assistance
all because of their
musculoskeletal complaints.
50. The direct costs for treating
musculoskeletal disease was
$575 billion
($576,000,000,000.00)
and an additional $373.1 billion
($373,100,000,000.00)
on indirect costs.
51. The total costs of
musculoskeletal disease to
society was estimated at
$950 billion
($950,000,000,000.00)
in 2010.
It is over $1 trillion today.
65. is what leads to
the development of these
chronic secondary
musculoskeletal symptoms.
66. People who have
a misaligned hindfoot
are punished for
walking, running or exercising.
67. So we have to look at
back, hip, knee and foot
pain
as symptoms.
68. Pain
is a warning signal
that something is wrong.
69. If we only address the
symptoms
without eliminating
the source of the symptoms,
then the symptoms will just
reoccur.
70. Just like we can keep putting air
into a tire with a slow leak, but
the air will just escape and the
tire will go flat again.
71. We can invent all sorts of ways to
put air in the tire, yet we ignore the
fact that it is just a temporary fix.
72. Eventually, the small hole
progressively gets larger and the
tire is completely destroyed.
73. If we could have repaired the
hole when it was smaller it would
have been a much easier fix than
having to replace the entire
wheel.
74. The same is true with our bodies.
It’s easier to fix a mild deformity
than to wait for it to become a
severe deformity.
75. As the population
continues to increase
and the
lifespan continues
to grow longer,
the already overwhelming costs
of treating musculoskeletal
diseases will become
insurmountable.
76. It seems that no matter how hard
the medical establishment tries,
they are unable to provide
long-term solutions.
77. We have to change our thinking
and look to eliminate, or to
decrease as much as possible,
the underlying etiology.
78. Let’s look at musculoskeletal
disease from another angle.
79. Not to just focus our attention to where the pain
is, but to look at the entire structure.
80. Walking is the second most
common conscious function of
our body.
Breathing is number one.
86. Problem with observation or
“supervised neglect” is that while
standing, walking, or running
those excessive pathologic
forces are destroying the body.
87. Also, there is progressive
destruction to our body.
That is why the older we get, the
more likely we are to have
musculoskeletal disorders.
88. Arch supports?
Where’s the proof of hindfoot
realignment.
Even the best custom-fit device
cannot realign and maintain that
alignment of the hindfoot.
