Back pain is one of the most common health issues worldwide yet it’s still surrounded by confusion, fear, and myths. In this episode, I sit down with Anthony Ghosh, Consultant Spinal Neurosurgeon, educator and founder of Spine MDT Clinic to separate fact from fiction and give you a practical toolkit for a healthier spine.
What I love about Anthony’s approach is that he created SpineMDT, a modern, multidisciplinary spine care service, that works alongside physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractitioners to deliver holistic care to his patients, many of whom he believes would NOT benefit from spinal surgery.
We cover:
💡 Myth-busting: running, lifting weights, posture, mattresses, and more
🧠 What’s really happening when you get back pain and when to seek help
🏋️ The most effective exercises (including the McGill Big 3) for strength and recovery
🛏️ Sleep positions, pillows, shoes and desk-friendly tips to protect your back
🔬 Why surgery often isn’t the quick fix people expect and when it truly changes lives
If you’ve ever wondered whether cracking your back is dangerous, if a herniated disc can heal, or what the best daily routine for back health looks like, this episode has the answers.
He’s also a strong advocate for educating patients and challenging outdated ideas about spine health, a message he regularly shares on his growing YouTube channel, Spine MDT and in clinical practice.
