Summary

when a diagnosis is given, many people tend to associate the imaging diagnosis with the name of the disease, saying, "i have these symptoms because i had something wrong here.

for example...
(1) lower back pain → (2) then let's take an x-ray → (3) there is an area that is different from normal → (4) they assume that this is the cause of the pain → (5) they connect the imaging diagnosis with the pain, even though the original cause is the trigger point in the muscle.

this kind of case is very common.

in this case, the patient came to the clinic early because no problem was detected by diagnostic imaging.
therefore, the result was an early improvement.

however, in many cases, when the patient reaches a certain age and an x-ray or MRI is taken, there are parts that are not normal.

we need to get rid of the concept that "painful area = bad area".
we need to have a suspicion that "painful area may not be a bad area".
