Not every case that looks like spinal stenosis is actually spinal stenosis.

Back pain with walking. Relief when sitting. The same pattern patients are often told means, “You just have to live with it.”

But after 25 years in clinical practice, there’s a bigger question to ask: 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬?

Sometimes, the problem isn’t the diagnosis you were given. It’s what’s being missed underneath it.

The right assessment can change the entire treatment plan—and what you thought you had to live with.

If your back starts hurting when you walk, but the pain eases when you sit down, you may have been told that stenosis is the reason — and that you simply have to live with it.

But what if the real problem is something else?

This week’s videos break down 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧, 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐑𝐈 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭. You’ll also learn why walking isn’t always the problem, and what your spine may actually be missing.

Here’s what’s coming this week 👇

1️⃣ Told you have spinal stenosis? In 25 years I've seen one true case. Here's why.
2️⃣ He couldn't walk half a block. They said stenosis. It was actually this.
3️⃣ You were told spinal stenosis and to live with it. I want to challenge that.
4️⃣ Lean back 10 times. This tells us more about your spine than your MRI did.
5️⃣ Back pain that stops you mid-walk — then disappears when you sit. Here's what that means.
6️⃣ Diagnosed with stenosis and told walking pain is permanent? Not so fast.
7️⃣ Walking is one of the best things for back pain — unless your spine has lost this.

If walking has become something you avoid because you already expect your back to hurt, these videos may change the way you look at your symptoms.

He was told surgery was the only option left.

Too young for that. Too many friends with bad outcomes from back surgery. So he kept looking.

Multiple PTs. No real progress. Just… managing the pain instead of fixing it.
Then he came to mPower.

Today he’s back to 100% of his activities — but here’s the part that matters most: he now knows exactly what to do the moment symptoms try to creep back in. No guessing. No fear. Just a plan.

“𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜 𝐝𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.” “𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜 𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐠𝐞.” “𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.” “𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐫.”

These terms can sound alarming when you see them on an MRI report — but they don’t all mean the same thing.

Here’s the simple breakdown:

🔹 Disc degeneration — The disc gradually loses some water and becomes less hydrated over time. It may become thinner and develop small changes in its outer ring. This is a common part of aging.

🔹 Disc bulge — The outer ring of the disc extends outward more broadly around its edges. The disc material remains contained.

🔹 Disc herniation — A more focal area where the inner disc material pushes through a weakened or damaged area of the outer ring.

🔹 Annular fissure/tear — A crack or defect in the outer ring of the disc. The disc doesn't necessarily bulge or herniate just because an annular fissure is present.

The important part?

They don't automatically tell you how much pain you're going to have, whether the finding is causing your symptoms, or what treatment you need.

Did you know up to 71% of hip pain doesn't actually come from the hip? 🤯

It comes from the spine.

That means for every 10 people dealing with hip pain, roughly 7 of them could have a spine that's the real problem — and nobody's checked it.

This is exactly why so many people try stretching, injections, even surgery... and nothing changes. They're treating the wrong thing.

If your hip pain hasn't budged no matter what you've tried, it might be time to ask: has anyone actually checked my back?

𝐀 𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧.

Research has found that the size of disc displacement and the degree of nerve compression don’t consistently match how severe someone’s symptoms are — or predict how they’ll do a year later.

So why can one person with a large herniation have relatively mild symptoms while another person with a smaller finding be in significant pain?

Because an MRI tells us 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞.

It doesn’t tell us how your spine 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲.

That’s why, in the McKenzie Method, we look beyond the image.

We ask:

𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭?

Does it get better or worse depending on how you sit, stand, walk, or move?

Does your pain centralize with a specific direction of movement?

Those responses can give us valuable information about how your spine is behaving — and help guide treatment.

Sometimes the biggest turning point is realizing surgery doesn’t have to be the next step.

Craig was already being considered for a knee replacement. He was having trouble straightening his knee, walking was difficult, and he didn’t think he’d get back to working out without pain.

Eight weeks later, his experience looked very different.

“𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐧𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧, 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞.”

That kind of change is worth sharing. ❤️

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐌𝐑𝐈 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

Disc degeneration is surprisingly common in people who have no back pain at all.

Research has found disc degeneration on MRI in:

• 37% of people in their 20s
• 52% in their 30s
• 68% in their 40s
• 80% in their 50s
• 88% in their 60s

So by your 50s, 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝟖 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝟏𝟎 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜 𝐝𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐑𝐈.

That’s why seeing “disc degeneration” on your report doesn’t automatically explain why you hurt.

An MRI can show changes in your spine. It cannot, by itself, determine whether those changes are actually causing your symptoms.

People think physical therapy is simple. Do some exercises, stretch a little, feel better.

Good PT is something else entirely.
Before we ever touch a treatment plan, we’re asking: where is this actually coming from?

Is it mechanical? Is it fascial? Could it be autoimmune? Is there an emotional component driving the tension in your body?

Treat the wrong category, and you’re not solving the problem — you’re just putting a Band-Aid on a symptom that’s going to come right back.

This is the difference between PT that gives you temporary relief and PT that actually gets you answers.

When we assess a client, we’re looking at the whole picture — not just where it hurts, but why.
That’s the work. That’s what “mobility before stability” actually means in practice.

“𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐞.”

That's what this 64-year-old active woman told us during a recent conversation about her knee.

She had stopped running, started strengthening, and kept walking—but the swelling, stiffness, and frustration weren't going away.

Her story brought up an important question: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭?

Sometimes, the answer isn't simply “work harder.” Understanding what's happening inside the joint and how it's affecting movement can be an important part of figuring out what to do next.

If her story sounds familiar, we'd love to hear from you.
