Find out why the diagnosis is critical before any treatment is to be delivered effectively. Dr. Schultz shares personal and patient stories that highlight this topic.

Dr. Schultz is our resident low back, hip, and sciatica expert. He is the first conservative care low back and hip specialist in the Midwest! This comes after 2 intense years of training and managing difficult cases with Dr. Nottoli and Dr. William Brady of Integrative Diagnosis®. There is a massive need for low back and hip specialists in conservative care. Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide and costs the healthcare system upwards of $100 billion/year. Dr. Schultz is here to break the cycle of endless cortisone injections, countless physical therapy rounds and adjustments every week.

We start with his background and journey through pain and learning. We discuss the state of healthcare for people suffering with musculoskeletal pain. Toward the end of the podcast, Dr. Schultz shares some excellent pearls for how people can ask the right questions to doctors so you have better results.

"I’ve been fortunate enough to help numerous patients who were suffering with low back or hip pain for years and had seen multiple doctors. All to no avail. They were frustrated. They were at the end of their road. That all changed once we took the time to completely and accurately diagnose their problem. Then we built a custom treatment plan to put them on the fast track to a better life." --Dr. Schultz
