The Peter Attia Drive
#350 ‒ Injury prevention, recovery, and performance optimization for every decade | Kyler Brown, D.C.

The amount of low back flare ups, just your traditional back spasm, not a surgical candidate, just high back pain, but no damage. The amount of those people that have come in when their wife's about to go into labor or they're worried about getting fired from their job where they have like an emotional mental stress in their life. The amount of those people is infinite.

I've had thousands of people come in and go, my back flared up out of nowhere. And then you start to dive in, like what else is going on? And they're really worried or stressed about something. The goal there is you can't always fix those external, cultural, psychological, emotional things, but we can address them and identify them. And sometimes they need therapy.

They need other things to address those. But more importantly, we need to empower that individual and give them rational reasons why you're like, hey, this might be why you flared up in that glute or in that mid back. And this is what we're going to do about it. And if you outline those plans for people and give them the tools, now you've equipped them to actually help themselves.

This whole game of, I'm going to take an x-ray view and look, oh, there's one little bone spur, but now I'm going to scare you into like a 40 visit package to my chiropractic clinic or something. That game needs to go away fast because the only thing you're doing is making people feel more frail, more afraid, and you're actually only helping the bottom line of your business.

Yeah, I mean, low backs are great. So number one is for the neuros out there, if there's weakness or you don't have bowel or bladder function and things like that, right away, get evaluated, right? Because the way nerves work, if there's pressure on nerves, it could over time create permanent damage. Now, a lot of nerve pain is sensory. It's that electrical sciatica type stuff.

It's that tingling and that weird thing like that. But the real number one that you look at is do they have weakness or do they have loss of some sort of foundational control? that's when you got to get integrated with neuro and orthos right away. If we don't have that, now you're in the like decision-making domain.

Yeah, exactly right. That's definitely on the long list of things I refer out for, for sure. So if you're in that kind of mechanical low back pain or even some disc nerve issues, but no weakness, now there's a ton of strategies we can do almost as a first diagnostic step to see how your body responds.

Now, what I mean by that is we're not going to do some crazy aggressive therapy or treatment or manipulation of the spine, but we're going to do some sort of intervention like muscle work or McKenzie exercises for discs, which are highly researched and really effective, to see how the body responds to those things.

If your body responds in a positive way, even for two hours, that's a great indicator. Like, let's keep going down this road. Because even the best surgeons that you and I have both talked with about mutual clients, they'll say, let's give this a little time and see what your body does. Things can heal. The natural processes of the body can take care of themselves.
