“There’s nothing more we can do.”
If you’ve been injured, seen an orthopedic specialist, had all the tests, and still heard those words—you’re not alone.
Maybe your MRI came back “normal” or showed only mild bulging. The doctor reassured you it wasn’t serious. Yet you’re still dealing with pain, fatigue, or even nerve symptoms like leg weakness and instability.
So now what?
You’re still in pain, but the system is finished with you. You’re told to rest, maybe try more PT, and wait it out. Some are even told the pain is “in their head.”
But here’s the truth: the absence of major structural injury does NOT mean you’re fine.
What Traditional Imaging Can Miss
MRIs and X-rays are powerful—but limited. They’re excellent for detecting major injuries like herniated discs or fractures. But they can miss:
- Chronic inflammation
- Nerve dysfunction without compression
- Muscle imbalances
- Central sensitization (when your nervous system becomes hypersensitive to pain)
These are functional issues, not structural ones. That’s where functional medicine steps in.
What Is Functional Medicine for Injury Recovery?
Functional medicine looks beyond symptoms and imaging to uncover why your body is still struggling.
At JRM Nurse Consultants, I take a whole-person approach. That includes:
- Reviewing your sleep, stress, and nutrition
- Looking at nerve health and inflammatory patterns
- Understanding how trauma, hormones, and gut health affect your healing
Whether it’s a teen injured at work, a nurse hurt on the job, or a parent still exhausted after being cleared—if you’re not getting answers, this approach is for you.
The Good News: You’re Not Stuck
You don’t have to live in chronic pain, even if the system has discharged you.
You don’t have to wait until things get worse to seek help.
And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
