Dr. Mary O’Connor is the Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Vori Health, and she’s working to transform delivery of musculoskeletal care using a holistic, integrated approach.
Dr. O’Connor says according to The WHO, musculoskeletal conditions are the number one global cause of disability. That also obviously has a huge impact on the workforce.
The Vori team sees a huge opportunity for their virtual clinic to help patients get the care they need, and in many cases may help avoid unnecessary surgery… she tells us between 20-40% of spine surgeries and 23% of hip/knee replacements are deemed unnecessary.
In cases where a patient does need surgery, the Vori Health team can help prepare that person for surgery, which leads to better outcomes.
During their first visit, Vori Health patients will see a health coach, a member of the physician team, and then a member of the physical therapy team.
Check out this interview with Dr. O’Connor to hear more and to learn how mental health, physical health, and behavioral habits (like sleep, nutrition and more) all play a role in musculoskeletal care.
