Have you ever wondered why two women of the same age can have similar back pain — yet one feels better quickly while the other continues to struggle? In this episode, Dipti Patel explains why pain is not the same for everyone, even when it looks identical on the surface. You’ll learn why traditional labels like acute or chronic don’t tell the full story, and how understanding different pain drivers can change how pain should be treated. This episode brings clarity to confusion and helps explain why “one-size-fits-all” treatments often fail.

1. Back pain that looks the same on the outside can have very different underlying drivers.
2. Treating the wrong pain driver can keep pain lingering or recurring.
3. Understanding your pain is the first step toward choosing the right path forward.
