Why Your Treatment Isn’t Working (And What You’re Missing)

In this episode of the Pain and Performance Podcast, Dr. Derrick Hines breaks down a common misconception:

If a treatment isn’t working, it doesn’t mean it’s ineffective. It means you’re targeting the wrong system.

Instead of viewing physical therapy as just exercises and stretches, Dr. Hines explains how true physical health depends on multiple interconnected systems including the nervous system, immune system, and mental-emotional health.

If you’re not improving, the real issue may not be what you’re doing but what you’re missing.

In This Episode
- Why “this doesn’t work” is often the wrong conclusion
- The real definition of physical health
- How different body systems impact recovery
- Why symptoms persist even with treatment
- The importance of identifying the root cause
