Musculoskeletal disorders are one of the most important challenges of modern medicine worldwide. They are often attributed to maladaptations of our body to our peculiar form of locomotion, upright bipedalism. This lecture will explore the evolutionary origin of major musculoskeletal disorders such as back problems and hip joint osteoarthritis. I will show that these problems represent a relatively recent phenomenon, occurring only during the last few decades, and thus are unrelated to our skeletal adaptations.

If you've been stuck in the endless loop of trying everything for your low back pain—with no lasting relief—this episode is for you. You've done the massage guns. The YouTube stretches. The painkillers. Maybe even acupuncture, back braces, or chiropractors. And yet... your back still hurts. You're not imagining it. You're not weak. And you're definitely not alone. Lower back pain affects 1 in 4 American adults and is the leading cause of disability worldwide. But here's the real problem: most people are chasing temporary fixes that never get to the root cause of their pain. And in the process, they're losing time, money, energy—and hope. In this episode of Get Back to Your Life®, Dr. Yash Mehta, Interventional Spine & Sports Medicine at VSI, cuts through the noise. He breaks down what the latest research actually says about back pain treatments, and why many commonly recommended remedies just don't hold up when it comes to lasting relief. You'll learn:  The real reason your pain keeps coming back  Why so many common back pain treatments fail—and what to try instead The habits that will actually help you protect your spine for the long haul How to tell if your back pain is something more serious What it actually means to treat the root cause of chronic back pain When it's time to stop experimenting and start seeing a spine specialist If you've been told to just live with it—or worse, that it's all in your head—don't miss this.  Listen now: YouTube | Apple Podcasts | Spotify For more information on lasting back pain solutions, visit us at VSISpine.com.

Lower back pain is something most of us have experienced at some point. Whether it's from sitting too long, lifting something heavy, or just the wear and tear of daily life, it's a common issue. But with so many treatments available, which ones actually work? A team of researchers set out to answer this question in a massive study published in BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine. Gathering data from hundreds of previous studies, the researchers analysed 301 randomized controlled trials, covering 56 different treatments for low back pain. These treatments ranged from exercise and spinal manipulations to medications like NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and antidepressants. To make the study even more precise, they divided the results into two categories: Acute low back pain (pain lasting less than 12 weeks). Chronic low back pain (pain lasting 12 weeks or more). Then, they compared each treatment to a placebo to see if it actually provided pain relief. The good news is that some non-surgical treatments do work, though not as dramatically as you might hope. For acute low back pain, NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) were the only treatment found to be effective, with a small but measurable pain reduction. For chronic low back pain, five treatments stood out: Exercise: Physical movement tailored to strengthen the back and improve flexibility. Spinal manipulative therapy: Techniques often used by chiropractors to adjust the spine. Taping: Using supportive tape to stabilize muscles and joints. Antidepressants: Certain medications that seem to reduce pain perception. TRPV1 agonists: A class of treatments that target pain receptors. Each of these treatments provided modest pain relief, meaning they worked better than a placebo, but not by much. What Doesn't Work? Some common treatments, surprisingly, did not provide significant pain relief. For acute low back pain, these treatments were found not to be effective: Exercise (which works better for chronic pain but not short-term pain). Glucocorticoid injections (steroid shots that are sometimes used for inflammation). Paracetamol (acetaminophen) (commonly recommended but found to be ineffective in this study). For chronic low back pain, these treatments failed to provide significant benefits: Antibiotics (sometimes prescribed for infections that might cause pain, but no clear benefit). Anaesthetics (numbing agents that didn't prove effective for long-term relief). Many treatments had inconclusive results, meaning there wasn't enough strong evidence to say whether they truly help. These included: Acupuncture Massage Heat therapy Laser therapy Electromagnetic therapy This doesn't necessarily mean they don't work, just that more high-quality research is needed. So, if you have low back pain and are looking for non-surgical options, the research suggests: If your pain is short-term, NSAIDs may help. If your pain is chronic, consider exercise, spinal manipulative therapy, taping, antidepressants, or TRPV1 agonists. Some treatments commonly recommended (like paracetamol and steroids) might not be as effective as previously thought. Many alternative treatments show promise but need better studies to confirm their benefits. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I like to keep things simple. I think people over think & complicate everything when it comes to health. Eat the colors of the rainbow at every single meal. Thanks for keeping it simple for meatheads like me who just want to live happy healthy lives & preform at our best.         Maryann: Hi Dr. Cabral. I struggle with bouts of severe fatigue that is accompanied by a pain/ache in my lower right back. It starts with the lower back pain a day or 2 in advance and the fatigue then begins with me struggling to wake in the morning, like I am trying to come out of anesthesia. This fatigue can last for a day or a week. I have had an xray and MRI for the back pain which have not shown any issues. All of my routine bloodwork is within normal lab ranges. I have Hashimotos (I take Synthroid daily) and am Celiac, on a strict gluten free diet for 15 years. I do not drink alcohol or caffeine, I strength train 4X a week and walk 4 miles daily. I take daily Vitamin D and calcium supplements. Doctors/specialists have no answers. Any insight you have is very much appreciated! Thanks           Milan: Hello Dr.Cabral. I am an IHP and would like to ask your opinion about tiny bruises under the skin. My client keeps on developing those and we can't figure out the reason. She had some yeast, parasite issues that we have solved already, estrogen dominance that we work on right now, omega3/6 ratio is 4/1, no issues on CBC. She is following an paleo diet and lives very clean. Aside from her estrogen dominance supplements, she also takes activated B, 1g of vitamin C, Zn, Omega3, probiotics, D/K2. What could be the reason for her brushing, am I missing something?                    Mike: Dr Cabral, I have a question regarding poor wound healing and and frequent muscle injuries. I am 44 years old ectomorph, 5'10”, 160 lbs, 10% body fat. I eat smoothies with collagen, goat whey, berries, pears, apples, coconut milk for breakfast, vegetarian lunch with chickpeas, potatoes, vegetables, olive oil, hemp, dinner with rice, vegetables, animal protein, olive oil. I exercise 6 days per week for 45 minute (2x strength training, 2x cardio, 2x yoga). According to my calculation I get about 120g protein, 100g fat, 250g carbs, and overall about 7 servings of fruit/vegetables on daily basis, and about 2400kcal. Could frequent injuries and poor wound healing be due to insufficient calories for my body type and energy expenditure? By the way, my omega 6 to 3 ratio is 3/1 without supplement.        Olive: Hi Dr C I'm an IHP2M My question is about adding probiotics to my daily routine & how much is too much. I take a 12 Billion multi-strain probiotic. I'm also exploring a ‘mental wellness' blend that claims to ‘Optimize your gut-brain axis with a synergistic combo of clinically validated probiotics, prebiotics, and phytobiotics to increase the production of your feel-good neurotransmitters'. Has: Lactobacillus R0052 for positive mood, Bifidobacterium R0175 for stress resilience, Lactobacillus R0011 for gut health for a total of 65 mg. Also prebiotic mix, L-glutamine, L-Theonine, & more fruit extracts. Will this blend add too much bacteria to my gut, and what are your thoughts on the effectiveness of this helping mental wellness by supporting the gut-brain axis? Thank you.           Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3319 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Join us for this replay from the archives to learn more about effective exercise for your lower back and what can surprisingly make lower back pain worse...   In part two of the interview with Dr. James Fisher, we explore what it takes to actually strengthen the lower back and why exercises like the deadlift are not effective in targeting your lower back muscles. Find out how some people can experience significant lower back strength gain in as little as ten weeks with only 15 total minutes of muscle tension (60 to 90 seconds per week!) and why stretching without strength training can actually make your lower back pain worse. The lower back is a notoriously difficult to train muscle group, which is why so many people are walking around with weak lower backs that are easy to injure and irritate. Fisher did some research with professional athletes to measure the effectiveness of certain exercises in strengthening the lower back and found that exercises that didn't isolate the lower back didn't make a major impact. However, lower back isolating exercises had a greater impact over more general exercises like the deadlift. The lower back needs an isolation exercise and preferably one that doesn't also load the gluteal muscles. These exercises are best done with lower back specific pieces of equipment. In terms of overall strength, people who do lumbar exercises see significant increases in strength. Dr. Fisher has seen lumbar strength increases as high as 200% over the course of ten weeks, as well as improved lifestyle function, with a training frequency of once per week. Lower back exercises are typically just one set and roughly 90 seconds of muscle tension. The lumbar muscles are an example of how you can use your muscles and still lose them due to the deleterious effects of aging. You need to use specific muscle fibers in a specific manner in order to build the strength in your lower back. Stretching can be taken too far if you are not also strengthening the muscles involved. Making your spine and back more mobile without making it stronger can make things worse for you in the long run. Things like yoga should be supplemental to a proper strength training regime. Lower back pain often restricts range of motion, but there are still opportunities to train the muscle group without a full extension. You can start small and expand the range as you get stronger. People with lower back pain also tend to be cautious about moving their lower back, especially during exercise. This is why lower back machines that control the range of motion are effective. They maintain safety and stability while loading the muscles properly. In terms of age, lower back exercises are suited to pretty much everyone in society except for certain individuals; ex. If you're pregnant, a small child, or have an injured spine. Once you've ruled out those conditions, you can safely and confidently strengthen the lower back. The more we know about our body, the more we know how to fix it. Helping identify the source of lower back pain, as well as what isn't the issue, is all part of the journey of alleviating pain and improving quality of life.   Link: exercisecoach.com     This podcast and blog are provided to you for entertainment and informational purposes only.

Join us for this replay from the archives to learn more about solving the problems causing lower back pain...   Brian Cygan and Dr. James Fisher discuss the origins of lower back pain and why the vast majority of Americans will experience some form of lower back pain in their lives. Learn about the root cause of lower back pain and why most treatments only deal with the symptoms and the pain instead of solving the problem, which often leads to even worse issues down the road. Fisher is an academic and researcher in the UK. He's published research on muscular strengthening as well as lower back pain. Lower back pain is a constant issue for a large swath of society. According to his study, somewhere between 70% and 90% of people will experience lower back pain in their lives. Lower back pain can be extremely debilitating to a person's lifestyle and sleep patterns, and can have a major impact on their mental health as well. There is also an enormous cost to society in terms of productivity. At the Strength Coach, we've found that strengthening is an important strategy to improving the quality of life of someone experiencing lower back pain. Chronic lower back is when it occurs for longer than three months. At that point it's important to seek medical guidance from a physiotherapist or general practitioner. About 10% to 15% of people experiencing chronic lower back pain have a specific reason for it like nerve issues or a slipped disc. The remaining 85% to 90% have what's referred to as non-specific back pain which reduces the ability to mitigate the pain. For many of those people, the solution is often some form of painkiller or passive treatment like stretching and massage. The theories about the existence of non-specific lower back pain have to do with our evolution from quadrupeds in the past. The muscles around the lower back don't tend to get much direct exercise and there seems to be a correlation between non-specific lower back pain and weak or atrophied lumbar muscles. The muscles that are more intrinsic to the spine over time, as we live a normal life, can atrophy as a result of not using them in a specific and demanding enough way. For most people, their gluteal muscles and hamstrings are very developed and do a lot of the work that the muscles in the lower back should do, and this can result in those lower back muscles becoming weaker, misfiring, and causing pain. With non-specific back pain, strengthening the muscles in the lower back should be the foundational approach to prevent future episodes of lower back pain. Specific lower back exercises are important for everyone in society to maintain their strength and muscle mass in that region and avoid the onset of lower back pain. Once something negative has happened, the road to recovery gets longer. Your lower back is central to everything you do. Without good control of your central muscles, you cannot throw or catch or jump or move well. From there it's a downward spiral into the realm of disability. An imbalance between ab strength and lower back muscle strength can be part of the problem. We want all of the muscles surrounding the core of the body to be trained effectively, and it's the lower back muscles that tend to be forgotten. The weak link is usually the lumbar muscles, and this can lead to a negative feedback process, where someone avoids exercising those muscles even more to avoid the pain resulting in greater muscle atrophy. We have other societal factors that are also contributing to the lower back pain that so many people experience as part of their lives.   Link: exercisecoach.com     This podcast and blog are provided to you for entertainment and informational purposes only.
