Episode Summary In this episode of Longevity Unlocked, Coach Kyle sits down with Dr. Matthew Dilallo, a chiropractor and former athlete based in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, to challenge the misconceptions around chiropractic care, back pain, and the healthcare system at large. Dr. Matt reveals why so many people bounce from appointment to appointment without lasting results—and what the best practitioners do differently. He breaks down the real cause of chronic pain, the link between emotional release and physical healing, and why the key to long-term health is movement, not rest. They also tackle controversial topics like the myth of chiropractic strokes, why “good posture” is overrated, and how breathing and pelvic floor function impact your spine, circulation, and overall wellness. This is a conversation that bridges traditional chiropractic wisdom with performance medicine, holistic healing, and common sense.   Key Takeaways Most back pain isn’t about your back. The pain you feel is often compensation for dysfunction elsewhere in the body—muscular, emotional, or even visceral. Good care requires time and intention. The best practitioners listen deeply, diagnose holistically, and don’t rush patient outcomes. Movement heals. Stillness and rest can worsen chronic pain. The right movement patterns are essential for circulation and recovery. The chiropractic “stroke risk” myth is wildly overblown. The actual risk is lower than being struck by lightning. True posture is dynamic. Instead of chasing “perfect posture,” focus on staying mobile and balanced. Breathing and pelvic floor health are underrated tools for resolving low back and hip pain.
