May 18, 2026 · 50 min

Show notes

If you've been told your chronic pain is something you just have to live with, this episode is for you. Dr. Caleb Slater explains why so many people stay stuck in chronic pain for years, why pain management often fails to address the real problem, and how the spine is often missed as a major driver of symptoms. He also shares his own 27-year chronic pain story and what finally helped him break the cycle.
