In this episode of Everything Disc: From Pain to Play, Dr. Troy sits down with Jason Workman a former insurance insider who now helps injured people navigate accident claims the right way.

They break down: Why pain doesn’t mean you should stop moving The biggest diet mistakes keeping people inflamed and injured How walking + mobility work can literally change your life What most golfers get wrong about fitness (and the one skill that actually drops scores) If you’ve got joint pain, disc issues, or you just want to feel stronger and play golf for decades, this one’s for you. In this episode, you’ll learn: The most common joint & disc-related problems Adrian sees in “normal” people (not just athletes) How hip and core imbalances quietly wreck your back, knees, and shoulders Why pain is a terrible coach (and how to use it as a signal, not a sentence) The truth about alcohol, sugar, and processed foods when you’re trying to heal Why you can’t “outwork” a bad diet, even if you live in the gym The simple weekly formula: walking + basic mobility + resistance training How to think about pain if you’re scared to move or worried about making it worse Why walking 18 holes of golf might be the best “fitness plan” for your 50s, 60s, and beyond The one skill Adrian says will improve most golfers’ scores faster than anything else (hint: it’s not driver speed) If you’re dealing with disc pain, sciatica, or chronic back issues 👉 Request a Free Decompression / Disc Evaluation Get checked to see if non-surgical spinal decompression could help: *Vancouver Disc Center* – Vancouver, WA 🔗 https://www.vancouverdisccenter.com 👉 Need a chiropractor for long-term spine & nervous system health?

    How to Play Golf Longer by Fixing Your Daily Habits w/ Dr. Troy

    In this episode of Everything Disc, Dr. Troy Dreiling sits down with Pablo (the behind-the-scenes podcast guy) for a rapid-fire conversation on why golfers break down — and why it’s rarely “just your swing.” They talk about the most common spine issues golfers deal with (low back, hips, neck, shoulders), why “pounding balls” without warming up destroys joints over time, and why the real performance killer is usually poor recovery + bad fuel + no rhythm. Dr. Troy also breaks down the overlooked basics that drive chronic pain patterns: skipping breakfast, living on processed carbs, dehydration, adrenal fatigue, and training in a constant “go-go-go” state — then expecting your body to perform like a Ferrari. Even if you don’t golf, this episode is a masterclass on sustainable health, longevity, and how to stop breaking your body down with your daily habits. What you will learn: The most common spinal issues golfers experience (and why they happen)Why “pain is just the symptom” and what’s usually causing it underneathHow vague recovery habits lead to chronic back, hip, neck, and shoulder flare-upsWhy skipping breakfast can keep your body in breakdown modeHow processed carbs and sugar can fuel inflammation and chronic pain patternsWhy most people don’t warm up correctly (and what a real warmup looks like)The difference between range habits vs real golf (and why repetitive pounding injures joints)How to build a “rhythm” of stress + recovery (like the tide coming in and out)Simple foundational habits: water, sleep, protein/fats, and daily movementWhy pros recover differently — and what everyday golfers can copy Mentioned in this episode: Spinal decompression at Vancouver Disc CenterLight therapy (infrared and LED laser for inflammation and healing)Discat Plus Enhanced for disc repair and hydration supportDisc and Joint Pain Relief Complex for inflammation and low back painWuji Karela (chlorella) for detox, gut health and lower inflammation Connect with Dr. Troy and Vancouver Disc Center: Vancouver Disc Center Website: https://vancouverdisccenter.com/free-...
