Dan Blotcher isn’t a sit-still kind of guy. The retired architect and airplane mechanic has always skied, road biked, and hit the weights hard (as in squatting 400 pounds).
So two years ago, when he started having lower-back pain, he kept up his active lifestyle and lived with the back issue, soaking in the hot tub after a day’s activities to try to ease the discomfort. “I even kept skiing,” he said. “But after a while, it was kicking my butt. I couldn’t even stand up.”
