Only a handful of you received this yesterday, so I am republishing it to everyone this morning. Sorry…
Your comments will drive the topics and quality of this podcast. So, thank you, and keep them coming.
Many people come to the office expecting… or even insisting on an MRI.
It seems like a high-tech tool worth considering.
But sometimes it’s not.
Can you be harmed by seeing a result? Yes, many can.
Can it alter how you feel about playing in your evening tennis game? Yes.
Can a musculoskeletal MRI tell us what hurts? Nope… Not usually.
When are MRI scans useful?
When do we order them?
How do we explain the results?
Why do we talk to you before the MRI to set expectations?
Have we ever seen an MRI from a 50+ year-old, and the results say ”normal?
You know… You might be running on a meniscus tear now and don’t even know it.
This was a solid podcast… This is an important topic. We hope you enjoy it.
Here’s the post that I mentioned earlier in the introduction to this episode:
