The Hidden Cause of Chronic Pain + How Chiropractic Brings Relief | Featuring Dr. Hoskins
At Herbal Mana, we know how frustrating and exhausting chronic pain can be. Whether it's lingering back pain, joint stiffness, or tension that never fully goes away—it’s not just frustrating, it’s exhausting That’s why we’re so excited to share this episode of the Herbal Mana Podcast featuring Dr. Dwayne A. Hoskins, DC—a principled chiropractor with a powerful message: your pain might not be the problem—it might be the signal.
If you’ve ever wondered why your chronic pain keeps returning, or why so many treatments only offer temporary relief, this conversation offers a new perspective—and a hopeful one. Watch the episode or keep reading for highlights below!
Chiropractic That Goes Deeper
Dr. Hoskins doesn’t follow the typical crack-and-go model. He practices non-therapeutic, objective straight chiropractic, focusing on one specific goal: identifying and correcting vertebral subluxations—misalignments in the spine.
These subluxations often show up as chronic pain, tension, fatigue, or stress. But what they’re really doing is disrupting your body’s ability to regulate, recover, and function normally. Dr. Hoskins said, “Pain is just the tip of the iceberg. The real issue is interference.”
When that interference is removed, the body can finally start to heal—not just cope.
Why Pain Is a Poor Indicator of Health
This episode really flips the common narrative around pain. Dr. Hoskins explains that only about 7% of the nervous system is dedicated to sensing pain. The other 93% is doing far more complex work—like regulating your heart, digestion, and breathing.
That’s why chronic pain isn’t always the root issue—it’s often the final warning. By the time you feel it, your body may have been dealing with dysfunction for weeks, months, or even years.
“If you listen when your body whispers, you won’t have to hear it scream.”
A Tool That Sees What You Can’t Feel
To detect subluxation, Dr. Hoskins uses paraspinal thermography—a non-invasive scan that measures heat patterns along the spine—that's actually a century old! It measures temperature changes along the spine, that can actually detect imbalances and inflammation even with no symptoms.
And here’s the key: if the scan doesn’t show a problem, he doesn’t adjust. That kind of integrity and precision is what sets his care apart. He says, “We’re not here to guess or over-treat. We’re here to help the body do what it’s already designed to do—heal.”
A Philosophy That Honors the Body
Chronic pain can make you feel like your body is broken. But Dr. Hoskins offers a different message. The body isn’t broken. It’s disconnected. And chiropractic care, done with precision and purpose, can help restore that lost connection.
It’s not about fixing every symptom. It’s about restoring function, so your body can begin to regulate itself again—naturally.
This is the kind of approach we believe in at Herbal Mana. Because true healing doesn’t come from masking pain—it comes from addressing the root of it.
