#11 Why Does My Back Keep Going Out? Dr. Aneesh Garg, DO, CAQ on the Real Cause

Your back goes out once, you chalk it up to a bad lift. It goes out again. Then again. And every time, you're told to rest, ice, and do PT — and every time it comes back. Dr. Aneesh Garg, DO, CAQ says the cycle isn't bad luck. It's a sign the tissue hasn't fully healed and the real diagnosis has never been found. In this episode he breaks down why RICE is out, why disc degeneration on an MRI is not a diagnosis, why your back pain might actually be coming from your SI joint, and how a 24-year-old boxer with a failed discectomy got his life back when the right problem was finally treated.Chapters:00:00 Why your back keeps going out — and what nobody is telling you00:44 Recurrent back pain means the tissue hasn't fully healed01:14 Why rest is usually the wrong answer — RICE is out02:06 Movement is medicine: the difference between rest and active healing02:43 Is this actually a back problem — or is it your SI joint or hip?04:25 Disc degeneration on MRI is almost universal after 40 — it's not a diagnosis05:16 "Just live with it" is one of the laziest answers in medicine06:18 How Dr. Garg uses forensic sports medicine to find the real pain source09:04 You can't fix the fridge by repairing the microwave11:22 Back pain that's actually an SI joint problem — and a surgery that didn't need to happen12:42 Case study: 24-year-old boxer with a failed discectomy — what everyone missed16:18 Can you actually fix chronic back pain with regenerative medicine?17:36 What to do the next time your back goes out instead of waiting for it to pass19:11 Stop treating the flares — start treating the pattern21:39 The mind-body connection: how a stressed nervous system amplifies back painLinks:Dynamic Athlete Homepage: https://dynamicathlete.com/Meet Dr. Aneesh Garg: https://dynamicathlete.com/dr-aneesh-garg/PRP Therapy: https://dynamicathlete.com/prp-therapy/Stem Cell Therapy: https://dynamicathlete.com/stem-cell-therapy/Shockwave Therapy: https://dynamicathlete.com/shockwave-therapy/Exomind: https://dynamicathlete.com/exomind/Emsella Therapy: https://dynamicathlete.com/emsella-therapy/The Regen Doc is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice or create a physician-patient relationship.
