  • Annular Tears: What They Really Are and How to Treat Them
    2025/08/21

    Dr. Tony Mork, MD, endoscopic spine surgeon and founder of the Endoscopic Spine Academy unpacks the science behind annular tears. He explains why most tears don’t hurt, why MRI scans aren’t enough to diagnose chronic low back pain and how discograms can still play a role. Dr. Mork argues that fragments of dead disc tissue often cause pain when they migrate to the annulus and outlines how he uses endoscopic techniques to remove them. He also discusses why high‑energy lasers may create more debris and explores emerging sealing approaches that aim to restore disc integrity. Whether you’re a patient or a practitioner, this episode offers practical insights on diagnosing and treating annular tears and highlights alternatives to spinal fusion.

  • The Journey Begins – Pioneering Endoscopic Spine Surgery
    2025/07/23

    🎙️ The Back Pain Rant
    Episode 1: The Journey Begins – Pioneering Endoscopic Spine Surgery
    Hosted by Dr. Tony Mork, MD – Endoscopic Spine Specialist

    In this debut episode of The Back Pain Rant, Dr. Tony Mork takes us back to where it all began — from his orthopedic training in the county hospitals of Los Angeles to becoming one of the early pioneers of endoscopic spine surgery.

    Dr. Mork reflects on how he transitioned from open orthopedic procedures to the minimally invasive techniques that revolutionized sports medicine, and eventually asked the question no one else was asking: “Why not use this on the spine?”

    You’ll hear the candid story of how he challenged the surgical status quo, faced skepticism from peers, adapted tools from other specialties, and ultimately helped shape a new path in spine care. Along the way, Dr. Mork shares the wins, the pitfalls, and the moments of clarity that drove him to innovate — not for fame, but for the future of patient care.

    Whether you're a fellow physician, a patient curious about spine surgery, or just love a good origin story in medicine, this first rant sets the stage for what’s to come.

He shares a real-life case study of a patient who suffered from chronic low back pain after a motor vehicle accident and was unable to find relief through conventional treatment methods like physical therapy and chiropractic care.

    Dr. Mork delves into the diagnostic process, explaining the use of MRI scans and CT discograms to identify annular tears. He highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis, especially for patients experiencing axial low back pain without radicular symptoms, as it helps determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

    The episode further explores the controversial nature of annular tear treatment and emphasizes Dr. Mork's belief in minimal intervention.
