Ep. 04 - Dr. Jenna Nitowski-Luu and Phil Luu - Bridging the Gap Between Pain and Performance

Drs. Phil Luu and Jenna Nitowski-Luu, chiropractors and owners of Lotus Spine and Strength, discuss their approach to helping clients reduce pain and improve physical performance. They explain that pain is complex and that it's important to consider multiple factors when considering a person's symptoms or pain. They challenge the narrative that our bodies should look a certain way and that certain positions or movements are inherently damaging, and emphasize the need to individualize care and focus on the patient's goals. We discuss how Chiropractic care should focus on the dynamic capabilities of the spine and its ability to adapt to activities, rather than on alignment. Patients should communicate their goals to their provider, who can then reverse engineer a plan to achieve those goals. It's important for patients to trust their instincts and seek a second opinion if they feel the need.
