Fortin Finger Test 👇
-

Did you know that the Fortin Finger Test (FFT) was originally described in the American Journal of Orthopedics in 1997 by Frank Falco and our very own, Joseph Fortin as an indicator of sacroiliac joint pain?

In 1988 while an assistant professor at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Dr. Fortin began to notice an association between patients indicating their targeted "hip" pain as lower back/SIJ pain once reviewed under image-guided testing.

Fortin found this observation compelling as medical school and residency training programs at the time most often only referred to the SIJ in the context of gross trauma, inflammatory or infectious arthritis.

What Makes Our Injections Different? 💉

Injections can serve both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes at STAR Health. If Dr. Fortin administers a numbing agent or anesthetic to a specific area and your symptoms improve, this can help identify the source of your pain—often referred to as the "smoking gun."

Integrative Medicine 💊 vs. Conventional Medicine 🧘

-
Conventional medicine relies on “appropriate therapies” according to science, such as medication, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and psychotherapy. On the other hand, when it comes to integrative medicine, physicians use healing-oriented medicine, such as yoga and acupuncture.

While the two are different, integrative medicine doesn’t completely reject conventional medicine. Integrative medicine seeks to deal with sports injury-related issues, such as chronic pain management, bringing together all the factors that influence recovery, for example:

The nature of the sports injury
Health history of the patient (any chronic diseases?)
The overall health of the whole person
Environmental factors that may influence health and recovery
Nutritional habits
Stressors, both physical and mental
Training, participation and recovery protocols
Social support structure
