In this episode of Back to the Expert, Dr. Tom Schuler sits down with Dr. Niteesh Bharara, a physiatrist specializing in non-operative musculoskeletal care.

Dr. Bharara breaks down what physiatry actually is — and why it might be the first stop you should make before ever considering surgery.

From exercise modifications and mobility work to cutting-edge interventional treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy, Dr. Bharara explains how the body can be guided to heal itself.

He walks us through a real patient case — a 25-year-old with sacroiliac joint pain — and shares how stem cell therapy delivered life-changing results without going under the knife.

Dr. Bharara even treated Dr. Schuler himself, offering a first-hand look at how these regenerative techniques work in practice.

🎙️ Whether you're dealing with chronic pain or just want to explore your options before surgery, this episode is a must-watch.
