Structural Diagnosis vs Neurological Reality
Structural diagnoses are often built on what we can see in imaging—bones, ligaments, discs, and cartilage. But most imaging doesn’t capture what’s happening at the receptor level of the nervous system.
In this clip, we break down:
🔹 Cutaneous receptors that respond to touch, shear, and vibration
🔹 Nociceptors (free nerve endings) that respond to temperature, mechanical stress, and chemical change
🔹 Joint receptors that detect pressure, acceleration, and high-stress joint actions
🔹 Why varied movement helps maintain an optimal receptor ratio
🔹 How lack of movement variety increases Type 4 receptors, making more actions feel threatening or painful
👉 This video is just a snippet from my full presentation, A Deeper Look at the Pain Experience.
