Why do so many people leave physical therapy without real relief? In this episode of The Spinal Truth Show, Dr. Caleb Slater breaks down the typical PT journey, insurance limitations, rushed sessions, generic exercise sheets, symptom-based treatment, and why many patients never get true one-on-one orthopedic care. He also explains what to look for in a better physical therapist, why certifications matter, and why the right treatment should target movement, strength, and the real underlying cause, not just manage pain.
