What happens when a spine expert becomes the patient?
In this episode, I talk with Dr. Eric Neufang—a chiropractor who went from treating back pain to living through it. After a serious spine injury, two surgeries, and years of recovery, he came back stronger—and more empathetic than ever.
Here’s what we talk about:
→ What actually helped vs. what failed (including injections, narcotics, and surgery)
→ The common myths patients believe about back pain—and the ones doctors still believe too
→ Why many people rush to surgery too soon
→ How core training and PEMF helped him avoid fusion
→ The real-life difference between mechanical pain and nerve pain
→ What Dr. Neufang wishes every patient and doctor understood about working together
This one’s honest, practical, and packed with insight—especially if you're struggling with back pain or work in spine care.
