The Resilient Body with Dr. Ar'neka
Ep. 158 Your Back Pain Isn't About Your Back
If you’ve been foam rolling, stretching, or getting adjusted but your back pain keeps coming back you’re not alone. In this episode, Dr. Ar’neka breaks down why chasing the pain doesn’t work and why your back is often the symptom, not the cause. You’ll learn the hidden drivers of recurring low back pain and the smarter way to build lasting relief.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why back pain usually isn’t coming from the back itself
- The three most common hidden causes:
- Core coordination problems (bracing vs. true stability)
- Stiff hips that force your back to move too much
- Pelvic instability that makes your back overcompensate
- Why adjustments, massages, and stretches only give short-term relief
- How to check if your hips and core are actually supporting your back during movement
- A new framework: think movement patterns, not muscles
