Functional medicine and regenerative approaches are changing how we treat chronic back and neck pain — offering real relief without scalpels or opioids. Dr. Christopher Lauria, D.C., walks through how spinal decompression, Class IV laser, PRP, and stem cell therapies work, why some patients feel better after a single session, and what realistic recovery looks like over the following months.
This episode keeps it practical and evidence-minded: learn how decompression creates a pressure gradient that can reduce a bulging disc, which non-surgical options are worth exploring for lasting relief, and the common pitfalls to avoid when pursuing regenerative care. If you want root-cause solutions that preserve motion and reduce reliance on meds, this episode is for you.
