Have you ever been told that your MRI “doesn’t look good” or that your injury is just something you’ll have to live with? If so, this conversation is for you.
In our latest discussion, we sat down with Dr. Michael Auriemma, a specialist in functional sports and spine medicine, to talk about one of the biggest misconceptions in healthcare—the idea that your MRI tells the whole story.
Dr. Mike shared eye-opening insights on why some people with “bad” MRIs have no pain, while others with “clean” scans struggle daily. He also walked us through real-life cases of patients who defied the odds—like one individual who was told she’d never run again after multiple knee surgeries, only to cross the finish line of a half marathon.
Key Takeaways:
✔️ Not all injuries require surgery—many "tears" seen on MRIs can be rehabbed without invasive treatment.
✔️ Imaging doesn’t always tell the full story—pain levels don’t always match MRI findings.
✔️ Strength training is often the missing piece in bridging the gap between injury and full recovery.
✔️ You are more than your MRI—your body is capable of healing and adapting more than you might think.
So, what’s the missing piece in recovery? And how can you take control of your healing journey beyond the scan?
