9 Myths About Low Back Pain — Audio Series

Ten short audio tracks from Dr. Sebastian Gonzales, DC, taking apart the nine beliefs about low back pain that keep people resting, fearing, and avoiding the things that would help them.

Who this is for

  • You've been told your disc herniation means you're damaged for good.
  • You're resting and avoiding activity because you're afraid of making your back worse.
  • You've been stretching for months and your back still hurts.
  • An MRI or X-ray finding — arthritis, degeneration — has you convinced your spine is fragile.
  • You've quietly given up on lifting weights because of your back.
  • Someone told you it's genetic, it's your age, or surgery is the only way out.

The problem

Most people with low back pain aren't held back by a lack of information — they're held back by the wrong information. Somewhere along the way you picked up beliefs: the disc is ruined, rest is safest, the MRI tells the whole story, lifting is dangerous, your back is just weak, it runs in the family.

These beliefs shape everything you do next. They keep you on the couch, off the barbell, and afraid of your own spine — often long after the pain itself would have let you move.

This audio series takes on nine of those myths, one track at a time, so you can stop making decisions based on fear and start making them based on how backs actually recover.
