In this episode of the Adjusted Reality podcast, Dr. Sherry McAllister sits down with board-certified neurosurgeon Dr. Patrick Roth to explore a powerful shift in how we understand and treat back pain. With decades of experience and a personal history of back pain that shaped his path, Dr. Roth shares why the future of care may lie beyond the operating room. Together, they unpack the concept of “strength-based healing,” and challenge long-held myths about back pain. They dive into the surprising connections between posture, confidence and whole-being care. Dr. Roth also explains the role of therapeutic stress in recovery, offering a fresh perspective on how the right kind of challenge can actually promote healing. From his work as a surgeon and educator, Dr. Roth brings a thoughtful, human-centered approach to care.

Whether you’re living with chronic back pain, curious about holistic approaches to health or a healthcare professional looking to rethink traditional models, this episode offers practical insights and a hopeful new direction for healing.
