55 | The Downside to Canes and Splints

Informações:

Synopsis

It might be justified to use a cane or a splint from time to time. And certain patients, due to permanent disabilities, may need to use such devices.  For the majority of us these medical devices can cause more problems. I'll discuss when to use such as devices and when to avoid them. The Arthritis Foundation has some good-use practices for canes.  We'll also discuss the problems that might develop with excess use.  If you're interested in consulting with me, connect with me at drmo@medicahealthcoach.com or through my website.
