    072 - Annular Tear/Fissure, Disc Pain, PRP, Stem Cells

    ✅ Join our FREE Membership for access to our Masterclass, resources, video podcast, community, and more! https://app.shapeshiftwellness.com/c/free-trainings-resources/ . In this episode, we tackle one of the most misunderstood MRI findings in the low back pain & sciatica world: annular tears (annular fissures). If you’ve been told your disc is “leaking,” that your spine is unstable, or that you should never bend again… this is for you. We break down one of the most widely shared articles on annular tears and critically analyze it . What’s accurate? What’s misleading? And what’s just fear-based language? You’ll learn what an annular tear actually is. How it compares to a disc herniation. And why most MRI findings don’t mean what you think they mean. We also cover true red flags. The rare situations where disc injuries really matter. If you’re dealing with chronic low back pain, sciatica, or anxiety about your MRI results, this episode will help you stop catastrophizing your spine. And start focusing on what actually drives recovery.

    065 - If I WOKE UP With BACK PAIN Tomorrow, Here's How I'd FIX IT FAST

    ✅ Watch the NEW FREE TRAINING on Low Back Pain & Sciatica:https://visit.shapeshiftwellness.com/beyondpaintraining.If I woke up tomorrow with back pain or sciatica, and my goal was to calm the pain, stop the flare-up, and get back to normal life and exercise as fast as possible, this is exactly what I would do.In this video, I walk you step-by-step through a research-based, non-scary plan for acute back pain and sciatica flare-ups—the same framework I personally use and teach to people dealing with both new injuries and long-term chronic pain.This is not about fixing posture, correcting alignment, or chasing MRI findings. It’s about calming your nervous system, reducing fear, restoring safe movement, and rebuilding confidence in your body.In this video, you’ll learn: • What to do immediately when back pain or sciatica flares up • Why fight-or-flight makes pain worse (and how to shut it down fast) • Why hurt does NOT equal harm, even with disc bulges or degeneration • The best short-term pain relief options (and why none of them “fix” you) • How to figure out why the flare-up happened in the first place • Why MRI findings like disc herniations are often normal and not dangerous • How visualization and mindset affect pain recovery (without woo-woo nonsense) • When and how to safely start exercising again • Why graded exposure to real-life movement beats “perfect rehab exercises” • How to stay mentally healthy while recovering from back pain or sciaticaThis approach applies whether: • Your pain just started yesterday • You’ve been dealing with chronic low back pain for years • You have sciatica, disc herniations, degeneration, or stenosis • You’re afraid to move because you don’t want to “make it worse”I’ve personally lived with chronic pain for over a decade, and I’ve worked with people who’ve recovered after 10, 20, even 30+ years of back pain and sciatica. There is always a path forward...✅ Watch the NEW FREE TRAINING on Low Back Pain & Sciatica:https://visit.shapeshiftwellness.com/beyondpaintraining.#lowbackpain #lowbackpainrelief#lowbackpainexercises #discherniation #sciaticarelief#sciatica #sciaticatreatment
