About this listen

In this episode of the Get Back To It Podcast, we hear the remarkable story of Dawn Lissy, a biomedical engineer in the spine industry who found herself on the other side of care as a patient. After decades of helping others through spinal implant design and testing, Dawn was faced with her own diagnosis of degenerative spine conditions. She shares her deeply personal journey of navigating pain, undergoing treatments like physical therapy, a discectomy, and injections, and making lifestyle changes to manage symptoms and restore quality of life. Dawn’s experience highlights the emotional and physical challenges of living with ongoing pain, the importance of perseverance, and the power of advocating for yourself on the road to recovery.
