This is interesting. On Reddit and places like that, the go to advice is ask-your-doctor. Assuming doctors know the most / best. Well, they are supposed to, but it happens rather regularly that ten minutes of googling gives me treatment ideas that none of the doctors I know have heard about and they are proper clinically tested ones. I think very often they don’t keep up, just sticking to what they learned decades ago. (Is that even possible? Isn’t there such a thing as mandatory journal subscription?)
It feels weird to know things a layman that experts don’t.
For example I have all sorts of posture problems and upper traps pain, and frankly none of the docs I know even heard about anything like this (admittedly, it is not a good example of clinical testing as this isn’,t still):

Yeah, I’ve seen a handful of cases like this as well. It’d be interested to hear from some sort of insider what the truth is. I suspect that you’re right and that they are biased towards what they learned and are biased against what the new research says.
