In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Kaveh Asadi, board-certified adult and pediatric neurosurgeon at the Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute, to explore an important but often misunderstood condition: tethered cord syndrome.

Tethered cord syndrome is a neurological disorder caused by abnormal tissue attachments that restrict the movement of the spinal cord, leading to symptoms like lower back pain, leg weakness, foot deformities, and changes in bladder or bowel function. Left untreated, it can result in permanent neurological damage—especially in growing children.

Dr. Asadi explains what tethered cord syndrome is, how it's diagnosed, and why early intervention is critical for preventing long-term complications. With his expertise in pediatric neurosurgery and minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Asadi walks parents through what to expect from evaluation to surgery and recovery.

Whether you're a concerned parent or a medical professional looking to better understand this condition, this episode offers valuable insight from a leading expert.
