  • Old Injuries Never Die… They Just Come Back Louder
    Apr 29 2025

    In this episode of the Active Health Podcast, Dr. Josh Mason sits down with longtime patient Robert Karrick for an honest conversation about hidden injuries, chronic pain, and how your body can silently break down over time.

    Robert shares his journey through high school sports, military service, and hard physical work — all seemingly without major injury — until lingering issues surfaced years later. From debilitating foot pain to chronic neck problems, we discuss how injuries from your past can quietly add up, and why traditional medicine often misses the deeper causes.

    We also dive into the detective work behind reading X-rays, identifying subtle but critical changes like reversed neck curvature, and how Active Health Clinics takes a hands-on approach to real healing.

    👉 If you’ve ever wondered why your body hurts years after you thought you “healed,” this episode is for you.

From singing birthday songs to remembering patients’ life details, she shows that love and attention are just as critical as clinical care.
