About this listen

 Spending long hours on your feet can take a serious toll on your body, especially your back—and few professionals feel this more acutely than educators. From standing for hours to racing between classrooms and handling high-stress situations, the physical and emotional demands of education can quietly chip away at your health. In fact, on average educators take approximately 12,000 steps per day and to many, back pain could be a threat or even a career-ending struggle. This patient’s testimonial story illustrates the power of not just ‘living with the pain’ and advocating for the right solutions.

In this episode, we hear from Chris, a middle school principal, husband, and father, whose debilitating back pain drained his energy, disrupted his career, and impacted his family life. After trying everything from yoga to physical therapy and acupuncture, Chris felt like nothing could truly relieve his pain—until he found Dr. Colin Haines at VSI.

Using a customized approach called hybrid spine surgery—a combination of spinal fusion and disc replacement—Dr. Haines helped Chris overcome his back pain and preserve the natural option of his spine. Months later, Chris went from struggling to stand through the day to hiking pain-free through Zion National Park, his transformation is proof that relief is possible.

If you’ve been searching for solutions to chronic back pain or wondering if advanced treatments could help you, don’t miss this inspiring episode. Learn how VSI’s expert spine team helps patients get back on their feet—and back to doing what they love.
