Ep 44: Why Pain Isn't Always Coming From Where You Feel It
Description
This week on The Confident Body Show, host Michael Dermansky is joined by Connor Sjogren, Osteopath at MD Health, to unpack a surprisingly common problem: when pain in one part of your body isn't actually coming from where you feel it.
They explore how back, hip, and pelvic issues can all mimic each other, often presenting with the same symptoms, and why getting the right diagnosis early is the key to long-term recovery. Michael and Connor break down the importance of looking at the whole body, not just the painful area, and how issues at the hips or ankles can quietly drive knee and back pain in the background.
Together, they discuss how clinicians determine what to treat first when multiple issues overlap, why a step-by-step approach leads to clearer results, and how collaborative care (and knowing when to refer) ensures patients get the most effective plan for their recovery.
