Are You Pushing Your Limits or Pushing Towards Pain? | Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome

Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome with Dr. Lucius Pomerantz -
Have you ever wondered why intense workouts sometimes lead to unbearable leg pain? A condition that could be lurking behind your post-exercise discomfort.
Through this video, Dr. Pomerantz distinguishes CECS from the acute variant discussed previously, emphasizing its reversibility but not without its challenges.
Let's talk about the intricate anatomy of compartment syndrome, including the pivotal role of fascia, and journey through the symptoms, diagnosis, and an array of treatment options.
Whether you're an athlete, military personnel, or someone who enjoys an active lifestyle, this video is tailored to offer you insights into managing and potentially overcoming CECS, from surgical interventions to non-operative strategies.
