Global War on Terror Veterans

GWOT Veterans are now ageing into the most prevalent (20% to 27%) age group (35-80) for shoulder pain.

Unresolved Shoulder pain = chronic disability, C&P exams, and life-long compensation payments.

Limitation of motion of the arm -5201, compensation payments will cost the VA $1.1 TRILLION.

Each Veteran with a 20% Disability Rating of Limitation of motion of the arm -5201, Major or Minor
will receive:

$3,935.88/ year one (2023)
$78,717/ 20 year period
$137,756/ 35 year period

The reason?

Research has not provided the VA medical staff with the……..

Correct Cause, nor
Correct Treatment to prevent this catastrophic problem.

Right Treatment ↔ Right Time ™

97% of Shoulder Problems can be remedied in under 5 sessions…

(instead of the “usual” 20-40-60- sessions)

Conventional (old) 25 most-common treatments are ineffective.

Because they’re treating the symptoms… not the cause.
Conventional care is just 2% of the week. One hour/3x per week.

……….Leaving 165 hours in a week when the shoulder is… constantly re-injured.

…………..(so it takes a very long time to get better… if ever.)

20… 40… 60 sessions. Then, all too often, needless surgery.

The Lancet published, “Keyhole shoulder surgery is no better than placebo.” (2018)

We must do better for our Veterans! Veterans need 100% Shoulder Care.

FTS Method specifically focuses treatment protocols and education on the cause of shoulder pain.

Providing the ‘how-to’ for 100% treatment, 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, every day, every night.

Yielding the best outcome… with the shortest treatment cycle.
Veteran shoulder care is optimized 100% of the week. Veterans get well quickly.
…(100% treatment yields outcomes of 97% improvement, in just 1-4 sessions)

Resulting in VA savings of $822 Billion.

100% Round-the-Clock Treatment

Globally, without exception, the medical community is struggling with Shoulder Treatments

There is a World-Wide Failure in Understanding the Shoulder Pain Problem.

British Journal of Sports Medicine (2017)

— Landmark comprehensive review study of 5,630 published shoulder studies of the 25 most commonly-used conventional treatments…
…..(Last Century Treatments for symptoms, still in use today.)
.
…..“For all comparisons and outcomes (25 most common treatments), the quality of evidence was graded as … very low.”

None received a rating of

. .

……(Not one)

— All reviewed shoulder treatments received a rating of Orange – Uncertain Effect

“the quality of evidence is very low”
“insufficient evidence”
“very low statistical precision”
“superior to doing nothing”
“insufficient reporting of unexpected adverse reactions”
“alternative interventions need to be considered”

Unfortunately, many of these are the current treatments in use for Veterans.

Shoulder Pain Problem (SPP)
leading to
Limitation of motion of the arm – 5201

FY2022
The second most prevalent musculoskeletal
service-connected disability
of new compensation recipients.

– VA Annual Benefits Report, 2022

• Pain, decreased movement, limited activities of daily life, significant shoulder disability

• 40-50% yearly prevalence rate

After 1 year…

50% of patients still suffer from Shoulder problems,
after conventional treatment.

Right Treatment ↔ Right Time ™

Usual care for Shoulder Pain has been ineffective treatments of “rest, ice, medications, therapy machines, tape, exercise”… with catastrophic results and costs.
.

• Why? Lack of understanding of the cause of Shoulder Pain / Shoulder Impingement.

“We can’t fix – what we don’t understand”

This leads to the catastrophic worsening of the shoulder injury. Resulting in long treatment times, and high costs.
Many Veteran shoulder-patients are sent to surgery… unnecessarily.
Too many Veteran shoulder patients are limited in their ability to return to work.

Far too many Veteran shoulder patients are disabled due to a lack of expert shoulder treatment.
This results in extraordinarily high disability costs which will cost the VA $1.1 TRILLION.

~ example ~

This Patient is a DIRECT failure of Research and its Treatment Recommendations

He was given the common treatments and told to “see how it goes”
(Wait-and-See policy).

As a result, he now has Scapular Dyskinesis, an advanced secondary problem.
It causes his shoulder blade to move BACKWARDS, and he cannot raise his arm.

After 20 PT sessions, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and manual therapy (no improvement)
He was told to “exercise” his shoulder muscles. (he continued to worsen)

Medical care should never let this happen.
(yet, it happens every single day)

Shoulder blade moves Backwards

This patient would have difficulty working and,
he would be eligible for a 30% disability rating,
and possibly be unable to work.

If he were a Veteran-recipient of LMOA-5201,
he would be paid this year (2023),

$6,096.60 (minimum)
$7,704.60 (with spouse, and two children under 18)
