Back pain is one of the most common and most misunderstood health issues out there. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. James Eubanks, a board-certified specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, to bust myths and explain why back pain is such a big problem today. We talk about why rest and fear-based approaches keep people stuck, why disc herniations can (and do) heal, and how movement can be one of the most powerful tools for recovery. Dr. Eubanks also shares what MRIs really tell us, what actually works for building strength and confidence, and how value-based spine care is changing the way patients get the right care, faster.
