Today we explain why a stiff, painful lower back doesn't need more stretching (knee-hugs, Child's Pose, cat-cow). Most disc problems bulge backwards, so repeated forward-bending keeps stressing the very tissues that need protection. We show what to do instead: learn neutral-spine control, practise real-life patterns (squat = stand up, hinge = pick up), and then build capacity. We also cover why imaging can be useful (for the clinician and planning), how years of sitting flatten your lumbar curve, spinal remodeling basics, post-op realities (microdiscectomy still needs rehab), coccyx pain referrals, IDD + rehab, cardio choices, and more Q&A.Start here → https://backinshapeprogram.com/start/Highlights:- Stiff ≠ “needs more flexion.” Most lumbar injuries dislike forward-bending; stabilise first, then strengthen.- Why imaging sometimes helps: it informs technique and targets—not a reason to delay starting safe rehab.- Your curve is often already flattened from long sitting; stop trying to add even more flexion.- Coccyx pain is commonly referred from L5/S1; fix the spine, not the seat cushion gimmicks.- Relief vs rehab: decompression/massage can soothe, but strength changes capacity (and daily life load wins).#backinshape #sciatica #herniateddiscsChapters:00:00:00 Why “stretch your stiff back” backfires (disc bulges & flexion strain)00:02:10 Stability over stretching: protect the injury, don't keep bending it00:05:00 When imaging helps (and why it shouldn't delay starting safe rehab)00:07:40 Normal curves 101 (lordosis/kyphosis) and where lumbar motion should occur00:11:30 The sitting problem: years of posterior tilt flatten the lumbar curve00:15:20 Spinal remodeling idea (sustained extension positioning; context & limits)00:18:50 Already flexed at rest?

October highlights many disabilities as awareness days/month in the US, and this month's podcast seeks to create awareness on one family's experience with Spina Bifida. Kevin Deutsch, an On Behalf of All (OBOA) Initiative pilot parish liaison, shares how he and his wife Nicole met a test of faith early in their pregnancy when their daughter Kora was confirmed to have Spina Bifida. Turning to God in their challenging moments, seeking pastoral guidance from their priest, and enjoying their daughter as a blessing in their community, has helped them grow in their trust of God, and in understanding of what it means to be fully human.
Leah explains how congenital birth defects intersect with VA disability benefits for both veterans and their children. She covers what congenital birth defects are, the conditions linked to toxic exposures like Agent Orange in Vietnam and Korea or contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, and when children may qualify for compensation or health benefits. Leah also highlights that veterans with congenital conditions can sometimes receive service connection if their condition was permanently aggravated by military service. She stresses the importance of strong medical evidence, proper documentation, and accredited representation, while warning against common mistakes such as assuming automatic approval or overlooking proof of service and biological parentage.

When the map doesn't match the terrain, sometimes you just make your own path. Natalia Bartlomowicz was born with a rare congenital condition so unique it doesn't even have a name—just a stack of medical files and a body doctors still can't quite predict. In this episode, she opens up about navigating childhood surgeries, a 16-hour operation in Boston, and the emotional toll of being called a “medical mystery.” From discovering she has two uteri to building a safe space for youth with chronic illness, Natalia's story is one of resilience, radical self-advocacy, and finding strength in the unexpected. She talks dating, dignity, and how the healthcare system can better treat patients as people. It's a heartfelt ride through one woman's no-name diagnosis—and the superpower she's made of it.Links:together-we-thrive.caFollow Sickboy: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sickboypodcastTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sickboypodcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/expeUDN

Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda Episode Title: Understanding Thoracic Lordosis – What Happens When the Mid-Back Bends the Wrong Way? Episode Summary: Most people know the spine has curves—but not all spinal curves are good. In this episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, we explore thoracic lordosis, an abnormal forward-bending of the mid-back. Dr. Nalda explains how this condition differs from normal spinal alignment, why it often goes hand-in-hand with scoliosis, and what you can do to restore proper spinal shape before symptoms progress. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✅ What Is Thoracic Lordosis? Normally, the thoracic (mid-back) spine should curve backward—a shape called kyphosis Thoracic lordosis occurs when the curve bends forward instead, disrupting spinal mechanics ✅ Why It Matters Thoracic lordosis weakens the spine's ability to handle stress It can contribute to: Progressive scoliosis Neck curvature issues (cervical kyphosis) Lumbar spine instability (spondylolisthesis) Chronic back pain, poor posture, and mobility limitations ✅ What Causes It? Postural habits Congenital defects Post-surgical changes (especially scoliosis surgery with rods) Neuromuscular conditions ✅ Connection to Scoliosis A flat or reversed mid-back curve is often seen in scoliosis cases Patients with flatter thoracic spines are more likely to progress rapidly during growth The rotational nature of scoliosis can flatten or invert normal curves, worsening spinal alignment ✅ How to Fix It You can't "watch and wait" on structural conditions Treatment must target the cause and curve direction At the Scoliosis Reduction Center, Dr. Nalda and his team use: Customized in-office care Targeted therapies to restore curve balance Home rehab programs for long-term stability Key Takeaway: Thoracic lordosis isn't “just posture.” It's a structural issue that can cascade into scoliosis, nerve issues, and even spinal instability. But with proper diagnosis and proactive care, the spine can be reshaped and protected from further damage. Resources & Links:

In this week's episode, we'll learn about stopping myeloma maintenance therapy in the modern era. New research suggests that many patients in remission can discontinue lenalidomide, remaining treatment-free, without jeopardizing disease response. After that: a novel congenital neutropenia syndrome. Mutations in the COPZ1 gene impact myeloid differentiation and development of neutropenia. Researchers describe the mechanisms and propose a treatment strategy for restoring granulopoiesis. Finally, ruxolitinib maintenance therapy after allogeneic transplant. In a phase 2 study, this treatment strategy was associated with low rates of chronic graft-versus-host disease. Investigators say the use of JAK inhibitors in this context warrants further study.Featured Articles: Sustained bone marrow and imaging MRD negativity for 3 years drives discontinuation of maintenance post-ASCT in myelomaA new severe congenital neutropenia syndrome associated with autosomal recessive COPZ1 mutationsLow rates of chronic graft-versus-host disease with ruxolitinib maintenance following allogeneic HCT

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Andrea: Hi Dr. Cabral - I'd love your input on what steps when trying to conceive to have the healthiest pregnancy possible. I love your book, and I'm doing many of the practices in it (epsom baths, IR sauna, taking the greens and daily nutritional support, exercise, etc.). I have done some nutrient testing through a nutritionist, so I'm taking extra vitamin D, B12, and iron. Also, I'm doing the 7-day detox now so that I can do it before trying next month. What is your advice on what I should (and shouldn't) be doing pre-pregnancy, and if there are any other tests you'd recommend (like testing for the Congenital cytomegalovirus infection/CMV)?Thank you for consistently presenting content in a rational, unbiased, and non-fear-mongering way! Cara: My family does not eat a healthy diet, I know this, but its so hard to change. It's incredibly overwhelming. I have 2 young children and I would like to provide better meals for them but I just get overwhelmed with all the messaging and what to feed them and what not to feed them that I just sink back to what I know and what I know they will eat. Help! where do I start to make changes Sally: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you so much for your willingness to help others! I am writing to you in regard of my dad. He is a 60 year old mechanic who has never really taken care of his body. About 4 years ago he was diagnosed with cancer and since has had treatment to essentially kill it. He has been cancer free since. Over the past few months he has been feeling chest tightness and arm pain, which landed him in the ER to get 3 stents put in his main left artery. He is healing and starting to slowly get back to work. I think this was a scare for him and he is going to start taking his eating habits seriously. Anyways, he has been saying for years now that drinking water gives him heartburn. I assume this is all connected back to his diet but wanted to get your thoughts if there is something specific we can look into further. We just ordered him the inflammation test from your site as a starting place. Thanks as always. Sally. Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I am a 63 year old female, eat a Mediterranean diet, do the big 5 annually, sauna daily and cold plunge 2-3 times per week. My exercise regimen includes, resistance, HITT and SIT 4-5 times per week. My question is, am I trying too hard? I often feel a wired when I should be tired and alternately run down for no apparent reason. My HRV can be as high as 65 when I'm detoxing and 20-30 when I'm living my normal life. I take a multitude of supplements, based on my IHP's recommendations (ie; all of the basics plus adrenal soothe, adrenal support, estrogen support, DHEA) , as well as several of the supplements you recommend, (ie; Berberine, functional mushrooms, metavolve.). Plus, I take 5 CBD gummies 3 x per day to control anxiety and NAC for mthfr gene. Please advise Carrie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have heard there's some controversy around nano hydroxyapatite, specifically that it can lead to liver and kidney issues, is carcinogenic, etc. This is a great ingredient to build teeth and reduce cavities, but I don't want to give it to my child if it's toxic and builds up in the system. What has your research on this ingredient shown, and are there any safe brands such as Primal Life Organics. If not, what is an alternative. Thank you!
