The 7 Stages of Lower Back Pain (And How to Escape Them) | Dr. Wall | Ep. 46
from The Unplugged Healthcast with Dr. Kevin Wall · host Dr. Kevin Wall
What if your “bad back” isn’t random at all, but a predictable progression you could have interrupted years ago? Dr. Kevin Wall pulls back the curtain on the seven stages of lower back pain, why sitting has become its own “pandemic,” and how your gut, your nervous system, and even big pharma all intersect in the story of your spine. After 36 years of treating thousands of patients, he maps out the pathway from “I’m just a little stiff” to “I’ve given up my life because of pain”—and how to get off that road at any stage. Dr. Wall also shares the moment that changed the trajectory of his career: doing pharmaceutical research that didn’t actually prove what the published papers claimed it did. That experience sent him into chiropractic, integrated health clinics, and eventually into helping patients address the deeper metabolic and gut issues that keep their pain coming back.
