Protecting Your Spine Through Every Season of Motherhood | Dr. Amir Vokshoor (Bonus Episode)

Many moms assume that back pain is simply part of motherhood. Between pregnancy, carrying babies, nursing, lifting toddlers, and juggling the physical demands of everyday life, aches and pains can feel inevitable.

But what if they aren't?

In this episode, Diane sits down with spine surgeon Dr. Amir Vokshoor to discuss why so many women experience back pain during pregnancy and postpartum - and why accepting it as "normal" may keep them from finding relief. Together, they explore how the small, repetitive movements of motherhood can quietly impact long-term spine health, the connection between core strength and spinal stability, and practical ways moms can care for their bodies before pain becomes chronic.
