EP 042 Dr. Andrea Luise, DC

Andrea Luise is a Chiropractic doctor working in Austin, Texas and is Nationally Board Certified in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression. She is also a self-described neuro nerd and teaches her patients that when we understand how the brain works, we can help our mental health. Dr. Andrea is working toward a certification in Neurology Spinal to help her patients understand how pain often crosses over into having chronic depression. Dr. Andrea’s goal is to bring the mind/body connection to life by combining her undergraduate degree in psychology with chiropractic care. Her writing has been featured in The American Chiropractor, and she posts weekly videos on physical and mental health on her website.  In our conversation, we cover a variety of methods of how we can protect our spines after injury, especially with nutrition and exercise. We discuss: ·        What causes sciatica and stenosis? ·        Spinal decompression - pain free movable stretches to the spine. ·        Why disc damage requires long-term care. ·        How weight plays a part in disc protection. ·        How nutrition affects the spine.
