Description

In this episode of The Spinal Truth, Dr. Caleb Slater and his wife, pelvic floor and orthopedic physical therapist Danielle Slater, share a deeply personal story about a painful and terrifying condition — the spinal shift. After slipping down the stairs while holding their six-month-old daughter, Danielle was left unable to stand upright, trapped in excruciating pain, and unsure what was happening to her body.

Together, Caleb and Danielle break down what a "shift" really is, why it happens, and how most people are misdiagnosed or mistreated when it occurs. They explain how traditional medicine often focuses on masking symptoms with muscle relaxers and pain pills instead of addressing the real, mechanical cause — and how early, targeted physical therapy can completely reverse the problem.

This candid discussion offers hope and real solutions for anyone suffering from sudden back pain, nerve pain, or sciatica symptoms that don't seem to make sense.
