When Do You Actually Need an MRI or Surgery for Your Back?

Dr. Clint Satterfield of Shift Therapy and Wellness sits down with Jenni Wright, NP-C at Georgia Bone and Joint in Cartersville, to pull back the curtain on what actually happens when you walk through their doors. Jenni shares her path from ICU nurse to orthopedic and spine care, what common conditions she sees most, and how Georgia Bone and Joint decides when to start conservative treatment versus when to escalate to imaging, injections, or surgery. She also breaks down the walk-in urgent ortho option — a service most people don't even know exists — and makes the case for why staying active and stretching consistently might be the most underrated thing you can do for your long-term health.
