Podcasts about chronic back pain

"I think I found the person who can help me." Those were the words Kellie whispered to her husband at 2 a.m. after nearly 20 years of chronic back pain, four failed surgeries, and doctors who kept telling her there was nothing more they could do. In this episode, Kellie shares the emotional reality of living with Bertolotti Syndrome, a frequently overlooked spinal condition that robbed her of running, fitness teaching, and too many moments with her kids. We're also joined briefly by her two children, who reflect on what it was like growing up watching their mom push through it all. This is a story about chronic pain, motherhood, medical gaslighting, and what happens when you refuse to stop searching for answers. In this episode, Kellie joins us to talk about:  Living with chronic back pain as a mother What pain looks like from a child's perspective Bertolotti Syndrome and why it's so often missed The link between chronic pain and mental health Self-advocacy when doctors say there's nothing left to try What it feels like to finally get your life back From missing moments with her children to questioning whether she would ever run again, Kellie opens up about the reality so many women silently live through while continuing to show up for the people they love most.  If you've ever been told your pain is something you just have to live with, or if you love someone who has, Kellie's story is a powerful reminder that your pain is real, and the right answers may still be out there.

Chronic pain is a pervasive issue that affects 1.5 billion people worldwide. If you or anyone you know has ever suffered from chronic pain issues, you understand that persistent pain day in and day out can cause a diminished quality of life, lead to mental health issues, and a variety of other health concerns. Today, we're going to talk about real, science-backed solutions for treating chronic pain.   Dr. Howard Schubiner is a researcher and educator whose work has influenced the development of innovative treatments for chronic pain. His work explores the role the mind plays in a host of chronic issues, not limited to migraines, back and neck pain, anxiety, and depression. His new book, Unlearn Your Pain, unpacks the neuroplastic causes to chronic pain and how to assess and treat pain.  Dr. Schubiner joins this episode of The Model Health Show to explain the fascinating results of his research, including how the mind can impact our physical and emotional pain. You're going to learn about the science of neuroplastic pain, the interconnectedness of the mind and body, and so much more. This information is truly transformative, I hope you enjoy this episode and share it out with someone you think could use these tools to recover from chronic pain  In this episode you'll discover: What pain actually is, and why it's a function of the brain. (3:04) How pain can occur without an injury. (4:17) A powerful question you can ask yourself when experiencing pain. (7:35) The details of the Boulder Back Pain Study. (8:37) What Pain Reprocessing Therapy is. (11:48) Why scans like MRIs don't tell the full story when it comes to pain. (14:09) What you can learn from pain that comes and goes.

Hi everyone, Building on our last episode we continue looking at how BFR can help people with low back pain.  Chronic nonspecific low back pain is a massive hurdle for athletes who must maintain high training loads to compete. Traditionally, achieving meaningful strength adaptations requires loads of at least 70% 1RM. However, for an athlete with compromised lumbar stability and inhibited core musculature (like the transversus abdominis and multifidus), this heavy loading can exacerbate muscle imbalances, increase joint stress, and perpetuate a vicious cycle of pain, inhibition, and weakness.   In this episode, we unpacked another article that asks a pivotal question: How does low-load Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training compare to heavy-load resistance training for male collegiate athletes actively suffering from chronic back pain?   The study compared low-load BFR strength against traditional (non-BFR) strenght training.  The program was a  4-week intervention, and highlighted signification reductions in pain (VAS) and functional disability (ODI) in favour of the BFR group. The study also explored the nuanced changes in isokinetic core strength, revealing a fascinating trade-off: heavy lifting drives slow-velocity strength, while BFR drives high-velocity, explosive strength. Then I finish the episode by providing my own take on how to practically apply BFR into an athlete's routine without sacrificing sports performance.   Article: "The effect of blood flow restriction training on core muscle strength and pain in male collegiate athletes with chronic non-specific low back pain." Frontiers in Public Health, January 2025.   Discussion Points The physiological mechanism behind BFR's pain-reducing effects: creating a hypoxic environment, metabolite accumulation, and dampening pain-sensing input. Comparing pain (VAS) and functional disability (ODI) outcomes: why BFR achieved large effect sizes (1.44) and outperformed heavy loading. Isometric core endurance (McGill battery): recognizing that trunk extensor endurance improvements are load-agnostic. Isokinetic dynamometry results: BFR's unique ability to increase fast-velocity (120 degrees/sec) extensor strength due to preferential fast-twitch fiber recruitment. Practical application: How to integrate core-specific stabilization, axial-deloaded heavy exercises (like belt squats and leg presses), and upper body BFR into a comprehensive athletic rehab program.   Key Topics Covered   Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain in Athletes Neuromuscular and Metabolic Adaptations to BFR Fast-Twitch Muscle Fiber Recruitment Pain Modulation via Hypoxic Stress Practical BFR Programming for the Weight Room FIND US: Website: www.TheBFR.co Socials: @thebfr.co Purchase BFR Cuffs: www.TheBFR.co Thanks for listening, and remember to keep the pump!

Amanda Rosen's story is one of relentless determination, unexpected setbacks, and ultimately, transformation. Diagnosed with spondylolisthesis at just seven years old, Amanda grew up managing chronic pain—but never letting it define her. She went on to become a Division I lacrosse player at Rutgers University and later pushed her limits even further as an Ironman competitor. But in 2016, while training for a qualifying race for Kona, everything changed. A sudden progression of her condition left her in debilitating pain—unable to walk, care for her family, or continue the active life she had always known. After exhausting conservative treatments, Amanda made the difficult decision to undergo spinal fusion surgery. In this episode, Amanda shares her journey from lifelong athlete to patient, navigating insurance challenges, surgery, and recovery with resilience and perspective. Her story is not just about healing physically, but about redefining identity, asking for help, and finding strength beyond performance. Today, Amanda is pain-free and living life on her terms—reminding us all that recovery is possible, and that even in our hardest moments, we can find a way forward. Support the show

Are common spinal procedures really helping chronic back pain? In this episode of Pain Talk, Dr. Maureen Allen speaks with Dr. Jason Busse of McMaster University about new evidence suggesting many spine injections may offer little benefit for chronic pain. They explore why chronic pain is different from acute pain, how the brain influences pain perception, and what alternative approaches may actually help. This is a thoughtful, balanced conversation focused on evidence, patient experience, and expanding how we approach chronic pain care The post Episode 79 : Dr. Jason Busse – What If Spinal Procedures Aren't the Answer for Chronic Back Pain? first appeared on Pain Talk.

Chronic Back Pain is probably the least favorite for most clinicians, but it is one of the most reported reasons for office visits. Brent Ness joins the Sports Medicine Broadcast to discuss how Aclarion is helping provide imaging that can identify biomarkers and find where the pain is actually coming from. Brent, recall your earliest interaction with Athletic Trainers. My kids played sports in high school and had injuries that the AT Staff took care of. Give us the highlights of NOCIScan Taking info from an MRI, measures the quantity of different biomarkers within the spine and disc.  Compares the biomarkers to other discs within the patient’s spine. Structural integrity and acid levels Disc material can be filled with acids, which can cause pain  MRI can look normal if these acids are present. Nerves can grow into the disc with a herniated disc or degeneration.  Disc degeneration is not just in “old” people, but also in people in their 20s, 30s, early 40s, and volleyball players Gives the treating physician more information Spectroscopy: same machine as MRI, different sequence that the tech would use. 1.5 or 3 T works Proteoglycans  levels Result reports usually take just a few minutes Currently in 23 markets in the US, still a cash pay service at the moment or done through clinical trials. Working on coming to Houston  How does this apply to the currently active athletic population? Football, hockey, pole vault, volleyball Ben likes to look at all of the options for Athletic Trainers.  Are there any Athletic Trainers currently employed by Aclarion? Always looking for motivated people. Yes  Lower-income high school Athletic Trainer – How do you feel I can best help my patients with back pain?  Start with the traditional treatments, rest, ice, NSAIDs. If very painful for a long period of time, if they move on to get an MRI, ask for MRSpectroscopy or NOCIScan to see more. They get with the imaging center to ensure the tech can get a single voxel spectroscopy setup on the machine. What is keeping more surgeons from adopting this type of MRI? Still new, working on moving into more hospitals. Cash pay vs. insurance is a big roadblock that many surgeons face.  Hopefully, one day we can work toward also being used on the knee $1450 list price (usually discounted as well) – patient pay model on the website, acquire through info@aclarion.com first Contact Us: Aclarion – aclarion.com Brent: info@aclarion.com Ben –  Shelby – Shelbyngaytan@gmail.com Jeremy – info@sportsmedicinebroadcast.com These people LOVE Athletic Trainers and help support the podcast: Frio Hydration – Superior Hydration products.

If you're considering injections and meds for your back pain do this first ►► FREE WORKSHOP: Discover the exact method and strategy I used to heal almost a decade of chronic back pain when everything else I tried failed. = https://fitness4backpain.mykajabi.com/hybridrelief?video=mxWJp7pmSxw ►► Book a FREE Relief Strategy Session with me https://fitness4backpain.mykajabi.com/SPAP?video=mxWJp7pmSxw You've probably been told your best shot at relief is injections, muscle relaxers, or daily meds. But what if I told you that these strategies might actually be keeping you stuck in pain? I lived with chronic low back pain for years— L5-S1 disc issues, degenerative discs, sciatica, stiffness, and flare-ups. I tried everything: doctors, medications, even scheduled my first round of injections. Some things helped a little, but the pain always came back. Why? Because I was only treating symptoms, not the root cause. In this video, I'm revealing the truth most doctors never explain: why medications and injections fail so many chronic pain sufferers… and what to do instead if you want to actually heal. This isn't about a quick fix or trendy stretch. I'll show you the holistic approach I used to finally reduce my pain sensitivity, build tolerance, and gain real movement back—without drugs, surgery, or fear of flare-ups.

Dr. told me I needed to “decompress” my spine to beat my pain…here's how it made it worse! ►► IS YOUR BACK PAIN FIXABLE? Take The FREE Quiz and be given the BEST starting point to start seeing relief based on your results! http://www.fitness4backpain.com/quiz If you're dealing with chronic back pain from degenerative disc disease (DDD), sciatica, or an L3-S1 disc herniation, you've probably heard that “hanging from a bar” can decompress your spine and provide relief. I believed that too—and was actually told to do that by multiple specialists so guess what I did… I hung from a bar almost daily after going broke paying for Traction treatments at my local PT clinic.. But instead of relief, it sent me into more pain, more fear, and more setbacks. In this video, I'm pulling back the curtain on what happened to my spine after months of hanging for decompression—and why it's not the magic fix so many claim. You'll learn:Why hanging might feel good temporarily, but cause long-term issues The dangerous misunderstanding about decompression and disc healingWhat you should focus on instead to actually start healing your pain from the inside out Enjoy! -William LOVING THIS CONTENT?

This episode is brought to you by Birch, Plunge, and AquaTru.  Back pain is a common affliction exacerbated by our modern and sedentary lifestyles. This discomfort frequently hinders work and daily activities. Our guest today delves into the back's anatomy, identifying movements—or lack thereof—that contribute to pain and discussing factors contributing to its increasing prevalence. Today, on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru and Dr. Stuart McGill delve deep into back pain. Dr. McGill shares insights into why back pain is so prevalent, dispels myths surrounding it, and discusses the types of repetitive stress and strain that can lead to chronic pain. He also outlines his approach to treating back pain and highlights the limitations clinicians face in treating their patients. Dr. Stuart McGill is a distinguished professor emeritus at the University of Waterloo and the chief scientific officer at Backfitpro Inc. McGill has written more than 200 scientific publications on the topics of lumbar function, low back injury mechanisms, investigation of tissue loading during rehabilitation programs, and the formulation of work-related injury avoidance strategies. He has received several awards for his work, including the Volvo Bioengineering Award for Low Back Pain Research from Sweden.   In this episode, Dhru and Dr. McGill  dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): The prevalence of back pain (00:00:36 /  00:00:36)  Drivers of back pain in our modern world (3:17 / 3:17) Repetitive stress and strain that leads to back pain (12:00 / 8:36) Types of training and how to choose what is best (22:00 / 17:50) Dr. McGill's origin story (34:00 / 28:00) The myth of non-specific back pain (49:00 / 43:50) How to find an appropriate clinician (57:00 /  52:17) The Big Three principles to prevent back pain (1:04:00 / 59:06) Ancestors ability to engage in a variety of movements (1:15:00 / 1:10:10) Training in cycles (1:23:00 / 1:18:27) Advice for Dhru's pain (1:33:00 / 1:28:00) Dr. Gill's Seven-Day Approach (1:37:00 / 1:32:30) Stretch what is weak and stretch what is tight (1:47:00 /1:52:30) Also mentioned in this episode: Dr. McGill's book, Back Mechanic Finding a clinician trained by Dr. McGill Spine Models For more on Dr. McGill, follow him on Instagram, Twitter, or his website.  To get 25% off your Birch Living mattress plus two free eco-rest pillows, head over to birchliving.com/dhru today.

I met NBA Denver Nugget's Forward Michael Porter, Jr. at a rather low point in his life. He had been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease while still in his teens, and by the time we crossed paths he'd had three back surgeries that didn't cure his pain. In fact, in the Summer of 2023 when we came together, he was in a flare so bad he was struggling to walk up the stairs. Thankfully for Mike, he is blessed with an open mind and a curious nature. He knew after surgery #3 that he had to find another way to look at his pain, or risk losing his career. After discovering Dr. Sarno's work, he quickly came across mine. Michael's life has never been the same. He dove into JournalSpeak, boldly and bravely looking at the places he was holding anger, grief, and shame. He examined his childhood, and made profound connections about things like achieving in basketball and his perception of being loved. Paired with the essentials of a TMS mindset and an understanding of the brain science, unearthing these core emotions and truths set him free. Today, Michael is (pun intended) at the top of his game. He has no chronic back pain whatsoever, and when he gets even a hint of a sensation, he need only employ the principles of MindBody medicine to send it on its way. I could go on forever about his uncommon wisdom for a 25-year-old, but I'd rather you hear it from Michael yourself.
