In this episode of The Spinal Truth, Dr. Caleb Slater sits down with Luke, a patient who struggled with chronic back pain and recurring injuries for over a decade. Luke shares his frustrating journey through the traditional medical system, where standard physical therapy focused on "core neutral" exercises like bird dogs, planks, and monster walks failed to provide lasting relief.

In this episode, we cover:

The Cycle of Injury: How a sports injury led to ten years of recurring back spasms and sciatica, often triggered by simple movements.

Why "Protection" Failed: Why avoiding movement and focusing on static stability (like planks) didn't solve the root cause of Luke's pain.

The Turning Point: How Luke utilized posterior pelvic tilts and weighted flexion exercises (like Jefferson Curls) to restore motion rather than restrict it.

Real Results: How Luke went from fearing movement to lifting 60 lbs with a flexed spine, eliminating his need for painkillers, and resolving his sciatic pain.

Patient Advocacy: The importance of seeking a provider who offers permanent solutions rather than temporary symptom management.
