In this episode, we discuss an issue that is common and debilitating – migraine headaches.

June is Migraine Headache and Awareness Month - drawing attention to the 35 million Americans who suffer from them. To break it down a little further – 43% of women and 18% of men will experience migraines at some point in their lives.

Research shows inflammation may play a major role in the onset of migraine headaches…so in this episode, we're zeroing on that in a conversation with Dr. Clarence Li, Neurologist, and Pain Specialist, and Susan Brady - certified nutritionist and Doctor of Integrative Medicine.

In this episode, we are talking about what's possible after back surgery.

We interview an Air Force Veteran and wounded warrior who is back to competing in the warrior games following two back surgeries.

We hear her inspiring story and talk with her doctor - Spine Surgeon Dr. Christopher Good - about how she got back into Warrior mode so fast and how you can too.

In this episode, we are talking about COVID and its correlation with lower back pain. It's a fairly new symptom of the Omicron variant of the virus so we're going to start with a look at what we know about how it's negatively affecting people.

First, we talk with a patient who never had back problems in her life until she got Omicron. She details the debilitating pain she's been dealing with for months following her COVID diagnosis.

Then, a conversation with the expert -- Spine Surgeon Dr. Colin Haines shares more on why the virus is causing these symptoms and the treatments that are helping patients overcome their lower back pain after COVID.
