SIGNS THERE’S SOMETHING DEEPER AT THE ROOT:

  • Occurrence of a significant number of symptoms in the past

  • Symptoms shift from one location in the body to others

  • History of adverse childhood events (ACE scale)

  • Personality traits of self-criticism, self-sacrificing, perfectionism, need to please, etc. (personality traits checklist)

  • The onset of symptoms coincides with significant stressful life events

  • The onset of symptoms does not coincide with an obvious or recent injury

  • Symptoms are in a distribution pattern inconsistent with a structural disorder, such as symmetric or one whole side of the body, or the whole arm or leg

  • Symptoms have persisted after normal healing would have occurred

  • Symptoms are bilateral in distribution

  • Symptoms vary with time of day, place, or activity

  • Symptoms are absent with a certain activity or exercise, but then occur later in the day or the next day

  • Symptoms often begin or occur in the middle of the night or upon awakening

  • Symptoms are correlated with stressful situations or the
    anticipation of stressful situations, such as family visits or work stress

  • The physical exam does not reveal clear objective signs of pathology; no evidence of injury and a normal neurological examination

  • Lab studies and imaging reveal normal or “normative” findings, such as degenerative disc disease or bulging discs frequently found in patients without pain

  • Symptoms are triggered in the office when discussing stressful events

  • And, others…
