Low back pain affects nearly 80% of adults — but most people treat it the wrong way. In this episode of The Dr. PT Podcast, Dr. Christine Pieton breaks down why mechanical low back pain keeps coming back and what’s actually driving it. She explains the three biggest myths that prevent recovery (including why rest, stretching, and MRI findings don’t tell the whole story), and reveals the often-overlooked connection between your spine, hips, and feet. Through live caller questions on scoliosis, spinal stenosis, nerve damage, and surgery decisions, Dr. Pieton shares practical, movement-based solutions that help address the root cause — not just the symptoms. If you’re tired of recurring back pain and want a smarter strategy to move better and hurt less, this episode is for you.

Have a question about that nagging foot, back, hip, or shoulder issue that won't go away? Wondering if what your doctor is recommending is what Dr. PT would do? Dr. Christine Pieton will be answering your questions about how to fix those nagging aches, pains, and pelvic floor issues that are holding you back. Join the Dr. PT Podcast live stream every Monday at 2 p.m. Pacific / 5 p.m. Eastern on YouTube and listen to the audio podcast posted weekly wherever you enjoy listening.
