Are you sure you've been diagnosed correctly? According to a recent report published in the BMJ, medical misdiagnosis affects approximately 795,000 people in the United States every year.

It's seems quite common to hear patients report they're no better after weeks of therapy or after session after session of the same intervention - and upon being asked if their therapist changed their treatment when they failed to improve, patients commonly say, "not really." Whether a patient has a condition where improvement will only slowly be experienced over weeks of carrying out their prescribed home program, or they have a condition which should significantly improve rapidly within hours or a few days of initiating their home program, a quality clinician should adjust the frequency and equip the patient to understand what the expected response is.
