    Ep 6 | PATIENT PERSPECTIVE: "Unbelievable!" - A Decade of Back Pain Solved
    2026/08/04

    "Unbelievable. Every time I come in, that's the word that comes into my mind, unbelievable."

    For over a decade, Tim Krug, owner of Dude Wash and a Pensacola local business owner, dealt with chronic back and neck pain that chiropractors couldn't explain and regular exercise based physical therapy couldn't fix. In this episode of Patient Perspectives, Tim sits down with Dr. Dave to walk through his entire healing journey: from a basement gymnastics injury at 16, to years of "pop and pray" chiropractic adjustments, to finally discovering what was actually wrong with his body through Counterstrain therapy.

    Tim opens up about pain so severe it kept him up at night, chiropractic explanations that never made sense ("your back is out of place", but what does that even mean?), and the moment his neck moved freely again after years of being locked up. He also shares how getting out of pain didn't just change his physical health, it changed his sleep, his business, his family life, and gave him the confidence to start CrossFit in his late 20s.

    Dr. Dave breaks down the science behind why traditional thrust adjustments provide only temporary relief, what joint lubrication actually means, and why his diagnostic model using Fascial Counterstrain cut his average plan of care from 8 visits down to 5.


    In this episode you’ll hear:

    • Tim's original back injury at 16 and years of misdiagnosis
    • Why "your back is out of place" isn't a real explanation
    • The difference between thrust adjustments and mobilization
    • How joint lubrication works (and why pain gets worse at night)
    • Tim's cranial bone flare-up and the diagnostic process behind it
    • Why Dr. Dave believes in multiple treatment models, not just one
    • The value of paying out-of-pocket vs. traditional insurance-based PT
    • Advice for anyone dealing with chronic pain, wherever they live

    2026/07/21

    "Getting fired was the best thing I ever did for my career."


    That's how Dr. Dave opens up about the moment his home health job pulled his salary out from under him, right before a pandemic that no one saw coming.

    • Getting walked into his boss's office and fired one week before COVID shut down the country
    • How a leap of faith and God’s timing turned a layoff into a thriving chronic pain practice
