Summary:
In this episode of the Beyond Pain podcast, hosts Joe Gambino and Joe LaVacca discuss the common phenomenon of body sounds, such as popping and clicking, and how they relate to joint health and physical therapy.
They explore when these sounds may be concerning, the importance of building a collaborative healthcare team, and key considerations for choosing the right provider.
The conversation emphasizes the significance of listening to patients, validating their concerns, and the role of movement in joint health.
They also share valuable takeaways for listeners regarding pain management and the importance of reevaluation in treatment.
