  3. Number 3: Decoding Medical Jargon: The Truth Behind Imaging Terms

    In this episode of The Spinal Truth, Dr. Caleb Slater cut through the confusing medical terminology patients often hear after getting imaging results.

  4. Number 4: Carpal Tunnel or Neck Problem? The Truth About Wrist Pain

    In this episode of The Spinal Truth, Dr. Caleb Slater and Chris break down the myths and realities of carpal tunnel syndrome. While most people are told their wrist pain comes from typing or overuse, Dr. Slater explains why true carpal tunnel is actually rare and why symptoms like tingling, burning, or numbness in the hands are often misdiagnosed nerve issues starting in the neck.
