Physio Therapy is Revolutionizing Pain Treatment.
Time Warner Cable News’ Kristen Shaughnessy explains how physio therapy is an active approach in this Healthy Living report.
100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain.
That number comes from a number of sources, including The Institute of Medicine of the National Academies.
That means more people suffer from chronic pain than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined.
Dr. Erson Religioso is a doctor of physical therapy and world renowned for his ability to help those with chronic pain.
“You just have to convince a patient to take the care into their own hands,” Religioso says.
“That’s what keeps people better, that’s what gets people better faster.”
Many of Dr. Religioso’s patients have been told surgery is their only option.
He says it’s simply not true.
Physio is the Active approach to wellness and pain relief
He says the key is teaching patients how to self-treat so they know what to do if the pain pops up again.
“People get better from massage…
They get better from manipulation…
But most manual therapists we found, that are simply ‘hands-on’ …
Help as many people as they don’t help!”, Religioso says…
“So what’s like the missing link?
The missing link ended up being that patient needs to self-treat.”
Dr. Ofir Isaac is also a doctor of physio therapy.
He specializes in chronic pain and uses many of Dr. Religioso’s techniques.

“Chronic pain in the medical, more Passive model is being treated with high doses of painkillers, medications…
Injections and even unwarranted surgeries, trips to specialists that are not necessary…
P
atients living in severe depression,” Dr. Isaac says.
Dr. Isaac says the source of the pain is often not what hurts.
For instance…
Back pain could be the result of an ankle issue.
Ear infections often stem from neck issues.
“Your brain is like a computer…
When the body senses a perceived threat, a pain somewhere in your leg or your back or your arm, we are trying to help the brain…
Which is processing that information…
To reduce the threat to the area.”
Conclusion:
92% of chronic pain cases can be successfully treated using the Physio method, which is an Active approach,
Rather than the Passive approach; which may lead to medications, injections, and unnecessary surgery.
Dr. Religioso and Dr. Isaac use Skype and Google hangouts to counsel patients.
“We treat what’s causing the pain…
And we believe that pain is really caused by a threat to your nervous system,” Isaac says.
They say most of their patients have been poked and prodded enough!
Most of their patients see significant change within just 2 sessions!
