Thinking about making supplements part of your 2026 health reset? Before you stock the cabinet, listen up…

Most of what your body needs starts with real food: eating the rainbow, prioritizing protein, and cutting back on inflammatory sugars.

In other words… Supplements should support a strong foundation, not replace it!

When you’re young and dealing with debilitating back pain, the long-term implications matter. In certain cases, like this one, disc replacement can be a motion-preserving alternative to spinal fusion, helping relieve pain while minimizing stress on surrounding levels.

This approach may be especially important for young adults with back pain who want to maintain mobility, function, and durability over time.

Why does a disc herniation come back even after a laminectomy or discectomy?

Recurrent disc herniations happen more often than people realize. If the root cause isn’t addressed (body mechanics, core strength, excess load), the same disc can re-herniate, sometimes in the exact same spot.

The good news? This doesn't automatically mean you need another surgery.
Before jumping to another surgery, we focus on the root causes: movement patterns, core strength and back strength, body weight, and inflammation.

That ^ usually starts with conservative measures: spine-specialized physical therapy, medications, targeted injections, before considering more surgery.

If this sounds like you, find a physician who will address the WHY, not just the WHAT.
