When Pain Is a Message: Non-Surgical Paths to Spinal Healing with Dr. Christopher Lauria

When Pain Is a Message: Non-Surgical Paths to Spinal Healing with Dr. Christopher Lauria

Pain can quietly shrink your world—your sleep, your mood, even your sense of future. In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Yusuf, Dr. Christopher Lauria reframes pain as a signal worth listening to, not something to simply silence.

This episode is for anyone living with chronic neck, back, or disc discomfort who feels stuck between “meds forever” and “surgery next.” You’ll hear how a root-cause approach, patient education, and supportive technologies can help people explore options with more clarity and less fear.

About the Guest:

Dr. Christopher Lauria is the founder of Roanoke Disc Center and Lifestyle Chiropractic. He has spent nearly three decades helping people address chronic neck, back, and disc pain using non-surgical and integrative approaches.

Episode Chapters:
  1. 05:20 — Pain as a warning sign, not the enemy

  2. 07:58 — Why people assume meds first, surgery last

  3. 09:27 — Chronic pain patterns: discs, degeneration, arthritis

  4. 11:29 — How pain impacts mood, energy, and relationships

  5. 13:02 — Spinal decompression: creating conditions to heal

  6. 14:05 — Class 4 laser therapy and tissue support

  7. 16:20 — Patience, plateaus, and trusting a longer healing arc

Key Takeaways:
  • Treat pain like a “check engine light”: investigate the cause before choosing a path.

  • Ask your provider: “What’s the diagnosis—and what’s driving it?”

  • Consider a plan that supports healing conditions, not just symptom relief.

  • Expect recovery to take time; relief may come early, healing continues longer.

  • Track mood/energy alongside pain—your nervous system is part of the story.
