The 404 342: Where doctor says I need a 'backiotomy'
Dr. Todd Sinett is in today to talk about his revolutionary idea about chronic back pain and his book "The Truth About Back Pain: A Revolutionary, Individualized Approach to Diagnosing and Healing Back Pain."Meanwhile, Justin is still out with the swine flu, but Dr. Sinett more than fills the gap left by Justin's absence with his first appearance on The 404.We promise he'll be back again soon.There are times when we get a call from a PR rep about a possible guest and we get skeptical.After all, The 404 is a show ostensibly about technology and culture.But then we get gems like Dr. Michael Breus, the Sleep Doctor, and now Dr. Todd Sinett, the Back Doctor.According to the Back Doctor, there are three primary causes of back pain, and for the most part, we only treat the first, which is physical and structural.He says that, actually, digestive and mental health are incredibly important to the health of your back, and high stress plays a key role in back pain.On the show, he demonstrates some health exercises to strengthen your back.Additionally, he teaches us how to sit properly at work and eat properly at home.He doesn't believe that people "don't have time" to eat well.Apparently, salads and oatmeal every single day of your life isn't healthy for you.He even says that food from McDonald's occasionally is OK, as long as you eat a balanced diet every day.Check out today's show and call us out if we're talking crap about your health.Leave us a voice mail at 1-866-404-CNET (2638).It's all toll free.Finally, we love your e-mails to the show: the404 [at] cnet [com].EPISODE 342Download today's podcast Subscribe in iTunes audio | Suscribe to iTunes (video) |Subscribe in RSS Audio |Subscribe in RSS Video Dr. Todd Sinett's Web siteBuy "The Truth About Back Pain" from Amazon.comFollow us on Twitter!The 404Jeff BakalarJustin YuWilson Tang
