Mainstream Medicine's Approach Is an MRI and a Stretch Handout
Stab in the morning. Sciatica at 3 p.m. "Degenerative disc." NSAID. Muscle relaxer. Injections if you ask twice. Surgery if the week is ugly enough. Core weakness, a hip that does not extend, and a mattress-and-stress week are not in the report.

What Mainstream Medicine Misses
Discs degenerate on films in people who feel fine. Pain that owns your day is often a control problem — a joint that cannot share load, a nerve that is chemically angry, a flexion pattern you live in for work. Cutting a disc can be the right move. It is a poor first move when the hip and the sleep were never in the plan.
The Atma Approach looks at you as a unique person. Why is your back the one that failed this load?
Has your doctor ever talked to you about these commonly missed root causes?
