Here’s to spoiling dads properly this Father’s Day!

How would you rank these popular back pain treatments?

I decided to give 4 treatments a week each and see how my back pain felt after that. The results actually surprised me a bit.

Have you tried any of these? If so, how would you rank them?

So apparently while you are sleeping your spinal discs rehydrate - which is actually good for them - but it causes them to be a bit swollen in the morning 😞

Pro tip: before you stand up, lie on your back, pull your knees to your chest, and rock gently from side to side for about 30 seconds. It helps your spine decompress and transition before you stand up and put all your weight on it.

Give it a try and let us know how it works for you!

Do this to stop your road trip from wrecking your back ➡️

-Get out the car.
-Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
-Place both hands on your lower back and gently arch backwards 10 times.
-Hold each arch for a breath or two.

Make sure to take breaks every hour and reset. Your back - and your beagle will thank you! 😊

✋✋✋ mine is fully up and guess what? I lost the weight and I STILL have back pain.

While being overweight can definitely have a negative impact on your back it likely isn’t the only reason for back pain and it shouldn’t be viewed as such. Posture, muscle strength, stress - these are just some of the causes of back pain and if your doc is dismissing you check out our digital PT offering.

So loneliness, depression, and back pain are all linked.

If this is true it doesn’t bode well for chronic pain patients who already feel isolated and depressed which actually makes back pain worse!

I hope this number is wrong? Let me know!

May is the month your back hates most — and most people never see it coming 😩

You spent all winter resting. Now you’re suddenly hunched over a garden bed for three hours straight, twisting to reach the far corner, and hauling a 40lb bag of mulch with a rounded spine.

That’s not gardening. That’s a back injury waiting to happen.

Three things wreck backs every spring:

↳ Sustained forward flexion (hovering over beds for too long)
↳ Twisting while reaching (your discs do not love this)
↳ Lifting heavy bags before your body is warmed up

And the cruelest part? You feel fine while you’re doing it. The bill comes the next morning.

Here’s the one mindset shift that changes everything: treat yardwork like a workout.

Warm up before you go outside. Take breaks every 20–30 minutes. Don’t try to do the whole yard on the first nice day of the year.

Your garden will still be there tomorrow. Your back will thank you.

Are patients going to be better off or worse off??

‘The system, sold by Doctronic, is designed to conduct a “comprehensive medical assessment” that “mirrors the clinical decision-making process a licensed physician would follow.”1 Initially focusing on prescription renewals, the software is slated to prescribe almost 200 drugs, including corticosteroids, statins, antidepressants, hormones, and anticlotting agents.’

Are we thinking they will help chronic pain patient access medication for better QOL?
Perhaps they would warn about risks of things like Gabapentin and have better suggestions??

These peptides are all over wellness spaces right now — and if you have chronic back pain, it makes sense you’re curious.

So let’s be honest about where the science stands.

BPC-157 has shown genuinely interesting results for tissue repair and inflammation — in animals. A 2025 systematic review found 544 studies on it. Only 1 was a human clinical trial.

TB-500 has zero human clinical trials. None. Its safety profile in people is still completely unknown.

That doesn’t mean the conversation isn’t worth having. It means you deserve the full picture — not just what’s trending.

The most evidence-backed tools for back pain recovery are still movement, targeted rehab, and consistency. Not sexy. But actually studied in humans. 💙

Always talk to your healthcare provider before trying any supplement or peptide therapy — especially unregulated ones.

Save this if you’ve been down the peptide rabbit hole. Follow us for evidence-based takes that don’t leave out the fine print.
