You tried physical therapy. You did the exercises, stretched, strengthened your core, and maybe even tried injections, massage, dry needling, or traction. But your neck or back pain is still there.
What if your treatment never addressed one of the most important things: actually moving and strengthening your spine through its range of motion?
In this episode of The Spinal Truth, Dr. Caleb Slater challenges the idea that movement-based treatment is nothing new. He breaks down why many common treatments for chronic back pain, sciatica, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and herniated discs may not adequately address spinal mobility or strength.
We discuss:
Why core stabilization isn't the same as moving your spine through its full range of motion.
The difference between passive treatments and active movement.
Why stretching, massage, TENS, dry needling, and traction may not address all aspects of a spinal problem.
Why being active or exercising doesn't necessarily mean you're restoring spinal mobility.
How MRI findings can complicate identifying the source of pain.
Why Dr. Slater emphasizes progressive spinal movement, strength, and reassessment.
Dr. Slater also explains how his own treatment philosophy evolved after years of using more traditional physical therapy approaches.
If you've tried PT and you're still dealing with chronic neck or back pain, this episode offers a different perspective on what may be missing from your treatment.
