Overview

This podcast series draws from the evidence-based educational resources from Elite Pain & Health—a patient focused resource dedicated to minimally invasive, image-guided treatments for lumbar and low back pain. Each episode explores insights into non-surgical spine care, helping listeners understand their options before considering higher-risk surgical interventions.

Series Mission

To empower patients and providers with clear, accessible information about the full spectrum of lumbar pain—from initial symptoms and accurate diagnosis through advanced regenerative and interventional treatments. Our goal is to bridge the gap between complex spinal medicine and the everyday decisions patients face when seeking relief from debilitating back pain.
