Why Your Back Pain Treatment Isn't Working
Notes de l’épisode
If you've been doing physical therapy, stretching, core exercises, chiropractic adjustments, injections, massage, or other treatments for low back pain—and it keeps coming back—this episode may explain why.
In this episode of The Spinal Truth Show, Dr. Caleb Slater breaks down some of the most common approaches used to treat back pain and explains why many of them may be targeting everything except the back itself.
We discuss clamshells, planks, bird dogs, dead bugs, glute strengthening, stretching, chiropractic adjustments, MRI findings, degenerative disc disease, and the idea that your spine should be protected instead of moved.
Dr. Slater also explains why temporary pain relief is not the same thing as actually improving the underlying problem, why many people lose spinal motion without realizing it, and why strengthening your spine through movement may be an important missing piece.
If you've tried everything for chronic low back pain and still aren't getting lasting relief, this episode offers a very different way of looking at the problem.
