  • The Cutting Edge of Spine Surgery: Conservative Care, Microdiscectomies, and Avoiding the Fusion Trap
    Apr 13 2026

    Is spinal surgery always a "last resort"? And why do so many defense doctors claim every injury is just "old age"?

    In this episode of Victim to Victory, Lawrence LeBrocq talks with renowned orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. Abdul Arain about the latest breakthroughs in minimally invasive spine care. From "tube-based" discectomies with dime-sized incisions to the hidden dangers of spinal fusions, Dr. Arain breaks down what every patient (and attorney) needs to know about spinal pathology.

    What we cover:

    ✅ How to tell if your disc herniation is "acute" (new) or "degenerative" (old).

    ✅ Why Dr. Arain prefers laminectomies over fusions whenever possible.

    ✅ "Adjacent Level Syndrome": The long-term cost of fusing your spine.

    ✅ The "Double Crush": When your carpal tunnel is actually a neck problem.

    ✅ Recovery timelines: How soon can you get back to the gym or the field?

    "Nerves need space to breathe."

    If you're dealing with back pain, neck pain, or numbness after a collision, this is the masterclass you've been waiting for. Subscribe for more!
