Hi all. Just wondering if anybody has had lumbar decompression surgery plus fusion for spondylolisthesis and stenosis. I suffered from thoracic pain in past, latest after a fall over 2 years ago. That got better but had MRI with the spondylolisthesis and severe stenosis diagnosis. Even with that...

I have a question: for anyone who is reading Dr. Hanscoms blogs, he frequently seems to be posting about his paintings as if we can see them, but I don’t see them in his post. Is there something I’m supposed to do to view them?

There is no painting here to view is there?

Thanks so much! Will check it out. Glad no surgery etc. for you. Keep well and running!!

Well I’m going to get your book for sure. I’m just turned 66 and have been running since I was 12 with a 12 year hiatus due to back issues. But I kept fit doing other things and healed twice and started running again 20 years ago. Also did yoga for 14 years until the last 2.5. Trying to get back...

Thanks for your reply BGE. I’m so glad you’ve healed! And that you were told you had permanent nerve damage and that obviously wasn’t true. I vacillate between thinking it’s ok to push through, like Steve Ozanich did, and not doing so. I have an appt with doc to get checked out as I think...

Hi all. Haven’t posted here for awhile but have beaten thoracic pain with TMS methods but fell 2.5 years ago on ice and have been battling low back/buttock pain. Long story short MRI done then showed mild spondylolisthesis but advanced central canal stenosis. Ok so at THAT time my pain after...

I am so inspired reading this article by Dr. David Hanscom and I admire him tremendously for having the courage to put the truth out there. Having struggled with mostly back pain issues and IC, but having also healed at times, I know that back surgery (which I’ve never had) is done way to much...

Really great post. Thanks Dr. Schubiner.

Thanks Eileen and Lizzy. That’s amazing about that one study. Appreciate the info and encouragement.

Thanks Eileen. I have listened to both those podcasts. I’m not sure though if Nicole had spinal stenosis too. That seems to me pretty structural. I mean if I didn’t have the classics symptoms that go with that I would totally think it was TMS. Before when I healed I didn’t really ever have a...

Hi Avalon. I’ve never seen Dr. Schecter but it seems almost EVERYONE who goes to see him comes back with this same “mixed bag” of having both structural causes and TMS. While I’m not criticizing Dr. S. , it seems to me that not only does this diagnosis confuse the heck out of everyone, they are...
