  • Medical Gaslighting: When Pain Isn’t Just In Your Head | Episode 77
    It’s 2025, and women are still fighting to be believed, especially in medicine. From being told “it’s all in your head” to waiting years for a real diagnosis, many women know the silent sting of being dismissed. This experience has a name: medical gaslighting — and it’s more common than you might think.  In this powerful episode of Get Back to Your Life®, we meet Jakki, a VSI patient, mental health counselor, former athlete, and mother of three who endured 24 years of pain, misdiagnoses, and blatant medical dismissal. But Jakki refused to accept “there’s nothing wrong.”  Her story is a testament to persistence: when no one could explain her pain, she enrolled in radiology courses just to read her scans. Eventually, she found her answer — and her healing — through a diagnosis of Bertolotti Syndrome with Dr. Colin Haines at VSI. This is a breakthrough story for women everywhere. Jakki’s comeback story is one of strength, self-advocacy, and breakthrough — not just in her body, but in a system that too often turns down the volume on women’s pain. In this episode, you’ll learn: What medical gaslighting looks and feels like Why being dismissed can be so dangerous How to advocate for yourself in the healthcare system The signs that it’s time to seek a second opinion How persistence - and the right doctor - can change everything Whether you, too, have been talked over, brushed off, or are still searching for your own answers, this episode will stay with you. This is a story about validation, self-advocacy, hope and most importantly….solutions. And it demands to be heard.

  • Solutions for Pain After Spine Surgery | Episode 76
    Still in pain after spine surgery? You’re not alone - and more importantly, you're not out of options.   In this powerful episode, two of the nation’s top spine surgeons — Dr. Christopher Good and Dr. Ehsan Jazini  — dive into one of the most challenging realities in spine care: when surgery doesn’t fully relieve the pain.   They’ll uncover why post-surgical pain can persist, the overlooked causes, and the most effective next steps for long-term relief. From innovative treatments to holistic approaches, this episode is about helping you understand what’s happening and how to take control of your health and make a full recovery.   Most importantly, failed spine surgery doesn’t mean you failed. And it doesn’t mean it’s the end of the road. With an accurate diagnosis, a supportive recovery plan, and a surgeon who listens, you can stop spinning in pain cycles and start moving toward lasting relief.   With over three decades of combined experience diagnosing some of the most complex conditions and performing revision surgeries, Dr. Good and Dr. Jazini get to the root causes surgery doesn’t always meet expectations, and they map out new solutions to help you reclaim your quality of life. In this episode, you’ll learn: What “failed spine surgery syndrome” is (and how it’s often misunderstood) Red flags to watch for during recovery The importance of the patient-doctor relationship Why expectations and communication matter as much as the procedure itself How to know when it’s time for a second opinion What to ask your surgeon before surgery How a collaborative spine care model helps patients get back to their lives—even after surgery has failed them elsewhere   Whether you’ve had spine surgery and are still in pain—or are trying to make the best decision about what to do next—this episode is honest, hopeful, and designed to help you take back control.    Listen now: YouTube | Apple Podcasts | Spotify Watch the full episode on YouTube by searching “VSI Spine”   Find additional expert resources & support at vsispine.com
