[Music] So next question comes from Jessica and is my cervical disc issue permanent?
Very, very happy you asked this Jessica because I get asked this all the time. It’s a very fair question and the reality is we don’t know. There’s a lot of factors to consider there. And if you were to label the types of outcomes you could have complete resolution where it’s all done, it’s gone away, the issue is resolved with proper treatment, but you also made lifestyle changes and were adherent to your program to get them. You could end up in the second bucket of just symptom management though. Even though the disc issue didn’t fully disappear, but pain and other symptoms are essentially negligible. So you could end up in that scenario where you’re living your life and stuff but you technically still have an issue. It just doesn’t bother you. And then the last one which is where we don’t want anyone to be in is bucket three which is where it’s chronic. Where some cases where things don’t go right or maybe it’s just that severe of a case, you’re going to need ongoing management to control pain and maintain function. So is it permanent? I mean it’s the severity, underlying causes, you know, and then the adherence. I mean how accountable are you to taking the advice you’re given and employing it?
So I wish it was less complicated but it depends essentially is the final answer there. [Music]
