Well I assume zombieslayer is talking about a orthopedist or perhaps a nerologist. These people are trained alopathacally meaning typical medical model; generally they have a hammer and see everything as a nail.
(obviously the above statement is a generalization).

Same could be said of chiropractors thou ...

IMO if you treat ever person as an individual and you go from least invasive first and look to have the body heal natural most of all then this is usually the best.

General medical model for example for a low back disc bulge (which sounds like Justin Harrell has and has had multiple failed sugeries).

They do this (usuaully):
- xrays and MRI
- drugs and or physical therapy
- steroids into the back either one or repeated doses over say a 6 month period
- surgery

#1 Things people may not know - steroids can cause complications (negative); weakness in the area - ligament structures, bone, disc etc ... also can cause diabetes (had a patient acquire diabetes from taking steriods as perscribed by his GP (I think they were oral for pain - and said patient brought a article showing how its possible to get diabetes from said steroids).

#2 General back surgery is usually summed up like this - 50% of the time it will not help or make things worse. IMO for a professional athelete when you change the natural structure of something you can compromise that atheletes ability to perform in the future no matter what the surgery is for. Hence why ACL surgeries often cause the players to be at -33% ability after the surgery.

- btw dont get me wrong - IMO many times there are probably reasons why a person should have something done using the medical model when seeing a chiropractor but the chiro sees everyone as a nail too. Why IMO its important to have a doctor that is not biased and cares about said patient.

anyways - know this is long winded ... just some tidbits.

Awesome. I still have high hopes for the kid. I really thought that he'd be that Merriman, Suggs kind of guy in our system prior to this season. He played some shallow zone before, he was a good pass rusher in college. I thought of him a little like Finley. A big break out candidate.

I hope that he'll come back strong next year and amazes some people. Would love to see him get some QBs to the ground after a very dissapointing rookie season and now this.

again ... do you know the injury that I most commonly see where I work ... you got it a disc bulge. Granted they are mostly lowback bulges but IMO neck injuries are even easier to work with IMO.

didnt really get to see enough of him but hope he heals and one day gets back on the field !!
