So excited to be part of this amazing course today!

MRI reports can sound terrifying.

Bulges. Tears. Degeneration. Arthritis. “Abnormalities.”

But here’s the part that often gets missed...lots of people with no pain at all have these findings too.

One spine review that we discuss in our classes found disc degeneration in people without back pain, even in younger adults, and it became even more common with age. A newer shoulder MRI study found rotator cuff “abnormalities” in 96% of shoulders that were not currently painful.

So the question is not just, “What does the MRI show?”

The better question is, “Does this finding actually explain this person’s symptoms?”

Because a scan can show structure, but it cannot tell the whole story of pain.

Pain is influenced by the tissue, yes, but also by sensitivity, load, inflammation, stress, sleep, strength, movement options, past experiences, and the nervous system’s current threat level.

MRI findings matter.

They just need context.
