Chiropractor Grant Elliott challenges everything you think you know about lower back pain in this conversation with Dr. Philip Ovadia. With over 3 million followers and 250 weekly consultations, Elliott breaks down why 97% of herniated discs recover without surgery, why your core strength has nothing to do with back pain, and how simple movement patterns can provide immediate relief.

Elliott shares his evidence-based approach that contradicts traditional medical advice, explaining the anatomy of disc injuries and why repetitive movement—not rest—helps healing. He discusses the psychological components of chronic pain, proper sleep positioning, nutrition for spine health, and demonstrates the "do the opposite" principle that has helped thousands overcome years of suffering.

From debunking decompression therapy myths to explaining why sitting isn't inherently bad, this interview provides practical tools for anyone dealing with back pain. Elliott also addresses when surgery might be necessary and shares his online rehabilitation program that's helping people worldwide avoid the operating table.

Whether you're dealing with acute pain or have suffered for years, this conversation offers hope and actionable strategies based on current research rather than outdated medical assumptions.

BIG IDEA

Movement is medicine—find the right movements, the right exercises to alleviate lower back pain, because 97% of herniated discs recover without surgery when treated with proper rehabilitation.
