Why Some Spine Surgeries Should’ve Never Happened- Jeff Gross MD

What if spine surgery isn’t the breakthrough—it's the backup plan?
 

In a world where millions are told “scalpel first” for back pain, joint degeneration, and nerve issues, a quiet revolution is happening in regenerative medicine, non-surgical spine care, stem cells, exosomes, and peptides. On this episode of the Crackin’ Backs Podcast, we sit down with one of the true pioneers in the field—Dr. Jeff Gross, a spine-fellowship trained, board-certified neurosurgeon who’s pushing healing beyond the knife and toward regeneration.
 

Dr. Gross has spent over two decades treating back pain, neck pain, disc issues, and sports injuries using both traditional neurosurgical expertise and the latest in regenerative therapies, helping thousands of patients find alternatives to spinal surgery and accelerate healing naturally.
 

In this episode we break down:

• When stem cells and exosomes actually help back and joint pain

• How peptides are being used responsibly in regenerative care

• The filters Dr. Gross uses to decide who truly needs surgery—and who doesn’t

• What the science actually says (and what’s hype) about regenerative spine repair

• How doctors can match the right biologic tool to the right problem

• What real healing metrics look like—beyond pain scores and imaging

If you’ve ever typed “Can stem cells fix my back?”, “alternatives to spine surgery”, or “non-surgical regenerative spine care” into Google… this episode finally gives you evidence-based answers from someone who’s lived both sides of the scalpel.
