Get them involved in the health care you are providing and you will find your success ratio increasing as well as more satisfied patients. I use nutrition and exercise protocols. This takes time, but a proper nutritional program is a very important part of health care. After you find the great improvement of W.E.T. over tour previous electrotherapy experiences, which are primarily pain control, make a recall of patients that you have discharged due to lack of progress. Tell them why it works and why just relieving pain is not enough.
Most patients have the illusion that when the pain is gone, their problem is gone.
They are satisfied by the subsidence of pain, however pain is only an indicator of the problem. Merely masking the pain, which is a means to bring the brain's attention to a body problem is not enough. I feel my responsibility as a physician is to evaluate the problem, test to find the weak muscle or muscle groups, and proceed to correct the problem, no matter how long or difficult it may be or whatever technique is required to accomplish this. Athletes are not concerned with pain as how well they can perform. Over stressed injuries are common occupational diseases among athletes.
