AAMT Fellows dropping knowledge bombs at DN-1 Fort Worth with AAMT

[James Dunning PhD, DPT, MSc @DrDunning]

I had more fun today teaching the 3rd & 4th year PM&R medical residents of UCF College of Medicine than I did lecturing last week at #CSM2026. Greater acceptance by the MDs & DOs for PIEDN for knee #osteoarthritis & C1-2 adjustment for CGH than from within my own profession!

A thread of must know studies for anyone who treats pain.

Many of these studies disprove popular, but inaccurate, notions and themes in PT and pain.

1) Cortisone shows less cartilage at 2 years vs sham

This might ruffle some biases!

It would seem tendinopathy is more than just loading!

“We are very uncertain whether strengthening exercise reduces pain compared to no treatment”
