From Slopes to Strength: Managing Back Pain for Skiers | Episode 69

  • Summary

  • Skiing isn’t just a sport—it’s a passion that challenges your body and feeds your soul. But what happens when severe back pain threatens to take that joy away? In this episode, meet skier and dad Chris Denkers, whose love for skiing wasn’t just about carving the slopes - it was about coaching his twin boys, Wyatt and Riley, national snowboarding competitors who live with cystic fibrosis. When debilitating back pain made it impossible for Chris to ski competitively or even stand in ski boots, he faced the devastating reality of losing both his favorite sport and precious time with his family on the mountain. Tune in to hear Chris’s inspiring journey from living with chronic back pain, caused by spinal stenosis, to undergoing a life-changing customized spine surgery (combining spinal fusion and disc replacement) with world-renowned spine surgeon Dr. Christopher Good at VSI. Hear how this innovative hybrid procedure eliminated a decade of pain and restored Chris's active lifestyle. You won't want to miss this powerful story of recovery, resilience, and reclaiming what matters most - on and off the mountain.
