    Fibromyalgia: The Spine Problem Nobody Checks

    In this episode of The Spinal Truth Show, Dr. Caleb Slater breaks down fibromyalgia and why the diagnosis can be so frustrating for patients. Fibromyalgia is often described as widespread pain, fatigue, sleep problems, brain fog, headaches, dizziness, sensitivity, IBS, TMJ symptoms, pelvic pain, anxiety, and depression — but there is no definitive test that proves someone has it. Dr. Slater explains why labels like fibromyalgia, POTS, AMPS, PPPD, IBS, TMJ disorder, and chronic regional pain syndrome can sometimes become catch-all diagnoses when the medical system does not know what else to do. Once that label is applied, patients are often told to manage symptoms instead of continuing to search for the underlying cause. This episode explores a different possibility: that some "fibromyalgia" symptoms may actually be coming from multi-level spine problems, especially in the thoracic spine and cervical spine. Dr. Slater discusses how the nervous system supplies the body, how spine issues can create symptoms far beyond simple back or neck pain, and why restoring motion and strength may be the missing piece for some chronic pain patients. If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, chronic widespread pain, unexplained fatigue, brain fog, headaches, dizziness, IBS, TMJ, or other vague chronic symptoms, this episode may help you rethink what has actually been checked — and what may still be missing.

    Carpal Tunnel Is Often Misdiagnosed: The Neck Problem Nobody Checks

    In this episode of The Spinal Truth Show, Dr. Caleb Slater breaks down why many people diagnosed with carpal tunnel may not actually have a wrist problem at all. While true carpal tunnel involves compression of the median nerve at the wrist, many common "carpal tunnel" symptoms may actually be coming from the neck, especially when symptoms are bilateral, come and go, show up at rest, involve the pinky, or travel into the forearm, elbow, shoulder, or neck. Dr. Slater explains how the median nerve starts in the neck, why imaging and nerve tests can be misleading, and why treatments like wrist splints, injections, nerve glides, ultrasound, laser, paraffin, stretching, and even carpal tunnel surgery often fail when the real problem is higher up the chain. If you've been told you have carpal tunnel, or you're dealing with hand numbness, wrist pain, tingling, weakness, forearm pain, or symptoms into both hands, this episode may help you understand what's being missed, and why checking the neck first could save you from unnecessary treatment or surgery.

    Chronic GI Issues? Your Spine Might Be the Missing Piece

    In this episode of The Spinal Truth Show, Dr. Caleb Slater and Chris discuss the new Chronic GI Symptoms Course and who it may be appropriate for. They break down why chronic GI issues like Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, IBS, SIBO, gastroparesis, bloating, diarrhea, food intolerance, stomach pain, and frequent bowel movements may sometimes be connected to an underlying spine or nerve issue. Dr. Slater explains why many people are told their symptoms are purely digestive, inflammatory, dietary, or autoimmune — while their spine is rarely evaluated as part of the process. He also discusses why back pain, hip pain, groin pain, leg pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, or other orthopedic symptoms may be clues that these are not separate problems, but part of the same bigger issue. The episode also covers how the GI course is structured, what movements are used, what equipment is needed, what symptoms to track, why early orthopedic changes may show you're on the right path, and why this approach is designed to check an often-missed box before moving further into long-term medications, biologics, steroids, or surgery.

    Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: Why Stretching, PT & Surgery Often Miss the Real Problem

    In this episode of The Spinal Truth Show, Dr. Caleb Slater breaks down thoracic outlet syndrome and why it is often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and mistreated. TOS can cause pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, coldness, color changes, chest symptoms, neck pain, upper back pain, and arm symptoms — but the real issue may not simply be "tight muscles." Dr. Slater explains why common treatments like scalene stretches, pec stretches, first rib mobilizations, nerve glides, posture correction, hot packs, TENS, injections, and even surgery often fail to create lasting relief. Instead, he argues that the thoracic spine, lower cervical spine, mobility, strength, and targeted movement need to be properly evaluated and treated. If you've been diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, cervical radiculopathy, nerve compression, or unexplained arm symptoms, this episode will help you understand why your symptoms may keep coming back — and what may be missing from your treatment plan. The episode also discusses the free thoracic outlet syndrome series available on TikTok and YouTube.

    Can Your Spine Cause GI Issues? The Missing Link Behind IBS, Crohn's & Chronic Gut Symptoms

    In this episode of The Spinal Truth Show, Dr. Caleb Slater breaks down a rarely discussed possibility: that some chronic GI symptoms may be connected to the spine and nervous system. We talk about IBS, Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, food triggers, bloating, diarrhea, and why back, hip, knee, or foot pain may be clues that the spine should be checked as part of the bigger picture. Dr. Slater also shares a real patient case where targeted spinal movement helped improve long-term GI and orthopedic symptoms after years of failed treatments. This isn't saying every GI issue comes from the spine — but it may be a missing box that too many people never check. We also now have our Chronic GI Symptoms Course, a self-guided treatment course designed to help you explore whether your spine and nervous system may be contributing to your gut symptoms.

    Why Physical Therapy Fails So Many People

    Why do so many people leave physical therapy without real relief?

He also explains what to look for in a better physical therapist, why certifications matter, and why the right treatment should target movement, strength, and the real underlying cause, not just manage pain.
