In this episode, we’re joined by chiropractor, researcher, and founder of Dynamic Disc Designs, Jerome Fryer, for a powerful conversation that challenges how we approach spinal care — clinically and educationally.

We dive into some of the most misunderstood areas of spine rehab, including:
🔍 The limitations of the “non-specific low back pain” label
🧠 Why clear, visual, and empowering patient education is often the missing link in effective treatment
📚 The importance of staying current with spine research — and how clinical outcomes suffer when practitioners fall behind
🔁 How cyclic loading and movement promote disc health and resilience
⚖️ The gap between what the research says and what’s actually communicated in practice

Jerome shares his insights on bridging the disconnect between cutting-edge spinal science and what patients experience in real-world rehab. Whether you're a clinician or a patient, this episode will shift the way you think about spinal care.
