Treating the symptoms? Why not treat the cause.
< 1 min reading time

From the utilization of oral anti-inflammatory drugs too invasive surgery, medicine historically treat the symptom of musculoskeletal pain rather than try to identify cyclic load conditions that are causing the symptoms. Analysis of cyclical conditions in 3D environments is the real answer

Bob Tian Some ergornomist believe that: root of (digital eye strain related neck pain) lies in Computer Eye strain.

It goes this way:
digital eye strain, then brain fatigue, then reduce in muscle control and coordination, then neck not flexible, then neck problem.

How can the people keep the guided head posture, when suffering the brain fatigue (resulted from the digital eye strain)?

Michel ULSAS The issue is a political one since most of health care systems do not care about preventing but curing....

Bob Tian Yes, Michel, it is not surprising that, more and more investment in system while more and more health problem occur, since focusing on the cure instead of prevention.

Julie Omohundro Michel, when I was young, it was very common to see a plaque hanging in a doctor's office, proudly proclaiming that medicine was the only profession dedicated to eliminating the need for its own existence. Lately I've been trying to remember the last time I saw one of those plaques. I can't. Now it seems to be all about "sustainability."

Michel ULSAS You know, people are becoming older and older quicker and quicker. Governments didn't plan for that. It's already hard to cure, then preventing doesn't make sense: you understand of course that I'm just kidding...

Rainer Moosdorf MD PhD It´s perhaps not that simple, just black and white. It is true for any economic branch - and medicine is one - that supply creates demand. That´s one reason for the increase of some treatments, be it medically or interventionally or surgically. On the other hand, medicine has become a service industry in that patients expect an immediate relief of symptoms and this leads exactly to those fast symptomatic treatments, which unfortunately are mostly not a cure! Prevention is a longterm program, also for the individual patient. It needs the appreciation of the healthcare system and of our patients.

I think you would like the systems approach advocated by the Healthcare Working Group of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) bringing together systems biology (understanding the cause), the hospital (the treatment) and the devices that support the necessary treatments (the cure).

I used to be part of an ergonomic team and we interviewed workers and filmed them in action to analyze and correct ergonomic issues. The suggested approach should work for damage caused in industrial settings if the employer takes corrective action but it would have to be shown to be cost effective and would be more difficult to use on pain caused by recreational activities.

PEMF and Ozone address this issue, but US government doesn't want us to know. They powers that be have eliminated Direct IV which would cure many diseases where big pharma continues to fail. Holistic doctors are being killed or mysteriously disappear when they promote new disease meutriceuticals like GCMAF, etc.

The simplest way to answer the question posed, is to follow the money. What keeps the industry growing, it is the continuous treatment of patients for chronic conditions, if all diseases were cured, and physical conditions were eliminated, what would be the need for the industry as it stands today. There is no incentive to eliminate chronic conditions.

Paul M. Stein Jill, come on. Really? You're talking to the medical devices group, which, historically, has taken the beatdown with radical proposals for treatment. PEMF is experimental, but growing. Ozone is toxic but may possibly work only under extremely limited disease conditions...and then just in Russia. GcMAF needs more work, but it is for sale all over the place (just Google "gcmaf for sale"). And no more than a couple of "holistic" doctors have died under such circumstances, probably at much lower rates than regular doctors. There is no great conspiracy.

Piero Policicchio, DDS its so good to see these remarks my friends. our health care system is mostly palliative treatment of symptoms which doesn't prevent or cure. just want the world to know dental air force www.dentalairforce.com scientifically plucks the low hanging fruit of inflammation that is associated with all diseases of chronic inflammation, a truly preventative health care medical device. i like to call it very inexpensive health insurance.

Creo que lo que dices es totalmente cierto. En mi opinión algunos médicos en ocasiones dan medicamentos para prevenir infecciones. Esto no debería ser así, ya que la prioridad debería ser tener un ambiente esterilizado y en condiciones, y al dar-se casos de infecciones ver la causa para poder eliminar-la y así no tener que combatir las infecciones tan a menudo.
