The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson

Our spine specialist on this episode is Dr. Benjamin Glass. Dr. Glass shares two severe neck pain cases that have herniated discs.

Dr. Glass is unique to his profession. He carries the unfamiliar title of DACBR after his name, which means not only can he treat your spine needs: but as a Radiologist, he is able to analyze different images including X-rays and MRIs. This skill enables him to more accurately diagnosis his patients, resulting in overall better care.

He is one of only four Chiropractic/ Radiologist physicians throughout the entire state of Ohio who is certified to perform Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction Manipulation .

While there are nearly 60,000 Chiropractors nationally, only 1% of them have chosen to focus on studying and caring for the most difficult spine pain conditions with well-researched protocols like Dr. Glass.
