According to a Houston area anaesthesiologist and pain specialist, when it comes to healthcare, one size never fits all.

Houston, Texas, United States - January 8, 2019 /MarketersMedia/ —

According to Houston area pain management expert, Dr. Raju Mantena, modern medicine should focus more on treating the individual, and less on treating specific symptoms.

Many diets are focused on this concept – one size never fits all – such as the blood type diet and the nutritional typing diet, to name a couple. The theory is that each blood type has different requirements for optimal health, as does each different metabolic type. It’s impossible to prescribe the same diet to someone with a sluggish metabolism as you would someone who metabolizes food quickly.

Even entire healthcare modalities, like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, focus on the uniqueness of each of us. For instance, in Ayurveda, there are three distinct body types which all foundational concepts are built upon. In other words, proper health maintenance begins by first addressing our biological uniqueness.

“No one treatment method works for all people,” says Dr. Raju Mantena. “We all respond to treatment differently because we are all biologically different, even if only slightly. But slightly makes a big difference when treating a patient.”

According to Dr. Raju Mantena, when you treat a symptom rather than a patient, you’re limiting their ability to improve their health and overcome whatever ailment they’re dealing with. Which is why he takes a more open-minded approach when it comes to treatment options.

“Treatment is based on several factors,” says Dr. Raju Mantena, “including the results of a physical exam, the patient’s medical history, imaging studies, and more. The number of treatments is also unique to everyone, as some people respond to treatment better than others.”

The bottom line, says Dr. Raju Mantena, is that a cookie-cutter approach to healthcare is a huge mistake. And that mistake is resulting in a lot of perpetually sick patients who are dependent on medication.

“Our goal at 360 Pain Treatment,” says Dr. Raju Mantena, “is to decrease pain, restore function, and decrease dependence on powerful medications. And that always begins by first understanding the uniqueness of each patient.”
