for clinical decision

I am currently on my first placement for musculo-clinic. So far it has been quite interesting for me because I have patients with a lot of different conditions such as shoulder pain, knee pain, and LBP et. I found that manual therapy is so important in some cases to promote healing processing. One of my patients told me that she has been to other physio clinic, but what she had for treatment is only ultrasound and she didn’t feel better. I think main different treatment between previous clinic and this clinic is approaching method, U/S and mobilization with enough time to treat. After few sessions the patient’s symptom, pain, settles down and she is really happy with that.
That makes me feel happy as well.
However, on the other hand, as you guys know if you are paying for the treatment, $60 or more than that, you want to get better as quickly as possible and save the money. Because of that, sometimes physio has to decide the best way to decrease symptoms quickly but I think it is really hard. If the treatment is not effective, some patients won’t be coming back again to your clinic after first treatment session even though you have a lot of other treatment options and they are going to think you are a bad therapist.

I think there is no short-cut way to improve the clinical decision except experience.

I want to be a good therapist who don’t listen bad comment behind of back.

P.s And anyone know how often physio use U/S or H/P in private clinic in Australia?
