Geoffrey Montague-Smith Osteopath

Today I had the pleasure of discussing in more detail the future of our profession and how we are going to prepare the next generation of students.

Caroline Stone and I visited what may be the home of the next school which will teach a core curriculum to train Master Healing Arts practitioners. A syllabus reflecting the Interdimensional nature of Holistic Medicine, properly preparing students for a fulfilling life in the field of practice.

We will be looking for faculty members who can align with a very big vision. Get in touch if you are feeling it 😍

Very exciting times!

DISC HERNIATIONS CAN HEAL
————
One of the issues I get the most questions on is low back pain, especially disc herniations. While there is a lot that goes into this question, two things I usually mention are that disc herniations are common in much of the asymptomatic population and that they can heal with time and conservative treatment.

The following is a case report from the New England Journal of Medicine that documents the resolution of a lumbar herniation without surgery.

📕A 29-year-old woman presented to the spine clinic with new-onset pain in her right leg, accompanied by paresthesia. MRI of the lumbar spine revealed a lumbar disc herniation resulting in substantial spinal stenosis and nerve-root compression (left image).

📕She elected conservative treatment with physical therapy and an epidural injection of glucocorticoids. A second MRI obtained at follow-up 5 months after presentation showed resolution of the herniation (right image). Her clinical symptoms resolved, and she was discharged from the clinic, with follow-up recommended as needed.

📕Data from clinical trials suggest that patients who have herniated lumbar discs have similar long-term outcomes whether they undergo surgery or elect conservative management. In addition, the risk of subsequent catastrophic worsening without surgery is minimal.
