In today's episode of the Building A Healthier Edmonton Podcast, I interview Dr. Jerome Fryer of Dynamic Chiropractic Clinic & Dynamic Disc Designs
In todays episode we briefly discuss Dr. Fryer's history and how turned away from the dark side, and decided on a career in natural health care.
Dr. Fryer shares his experience as a researcher on spinal dynamics and his use of MRI.
We describe how disc height loss is a common source of back pain, and strategies on how to maintain disc height to reduce back pain.
Dr. Fryer describes the 2 main causes of back pain-Stenosis and Disc herniation- and how they differ, and what to do about it.
Near the end of our chat, Dr. Fryer shares a secret strategy he gives his patients to INCREASE disc height throughout the day, without expensive tools, gadgets or pills.
