What if one of the biggest drivers of healthcare costs, missed work, and unnecessary surgeries isn't what you think? In this episode of Healthcare Americana, Christopher Habig sits down with Tim Spooner, CEO of Solveglobal, to break down why musculoskeletal (MSK) care continues to frustrate patients and employers alike. From delayed access and overuse of imaging to a system that rewards escalation instead of resolution, Tim explains how most people enter care at the wrong point and end up stuck in a costly, ineffective cycle. The conversation explores a better path forward by starting with early, hands-on evaluation and treating the root cause before issues spiral into major claims. Tim shares how a proactive MSK strategy can reduce costs, improve outcomes, and even shift workplace culture by helping employees feel better and stay productive. For employers looking to take control of healthcare spending and for patients tired of the runaround, this episode offers a clear look at what happens when care is built around solving problems instead of prolonging them.
