In this episode, we’re joined by chiropractor, researcher, and founder of Dynamic Disc Designs, Jerome Fryer, for a powerful conversation that challenges how we approach spinal care — clinically and educationally.
We dive into some of the most misunderstood areas of spine rehab, including:
🔍 The limitations of the “non-specific low back pain” label
🧠 Why clear, visual, and empowering patient education is often the missing link in effective treatment
📚 The importance of staying current with spine research — and how clinical outcomes suffer when practitioners fall behind
🔁 How cyclic loading and movement promote disc health and resilience
⚖️ The gap between what the research says and what’s actually communicated in practice
Jerome shares his insights on bridging the disconnect between cutting-edge spinal science and what patients experience in real-world rehab. Whether you're a clinician or a patient, this episode will shift the way you think about spinal care.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
