I wanted to share this because I just recently finished working with a mom who was told that her spine was a mess on the MRI(and now that we've finished her treatment and she is pain free-her MRI hasn't changed a bit). Think about this the next time your doctor tells you your back pain is all about getting older...or that the MRI says you have the spine of an 80 year old... 37% of 20 year olds have "degeneration" in their spine while 80% of 50 year olds have that(or what is really just normal aging) and are PAIN FREE.
