Most Back Pain Doesn’t Need Surgery: The Torre Prime Guide to Real Recovery, Real Strength, and Real Longevity
Why therapy, precision-based exercise, and Stuart McGill–style spine science outperform quick fixes.
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care. It’s also one of the most over-treated and poorly treated conditions in the modern medical system. Every year, more than a million Americans undergo spine surgeries—yet a significant percentage of these were never necessary and never address the root cause.
At Torre Prime, we see a different path forward. One rooted in longevity science, functional resilience, and what researchers like Stuart McGill have shown for decades:
Most back pain is mechanical, modifiable, and highly responsive to the right combination of coaching, movement, stabilization, and intelligent loading—not surgery, opioids, or endless MRIs. - Gabriel Felsen

Most back pain is mechanical, modifiable, and highly responsive to the right combination of coaching, movement, stabilization, and intelligent loading—not surgery, opioids, or endless MRIs.
The Problem With Insurance-Driven Back Pain Care
Traditional insurance-driven medicine creates a perfect storm:
1. Over-imaging → Over-diagnosis
MRI findings don’t correlate well with pain.
Disc bulges, mild degenerative changes, or annular tears show up in pain-free people every day. But once they’re on the report, fear escalates, surgeons get involved, and everything spirals.
2. Fast referrals to specialists who specialize in… surgery
If the only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
Patients are rushed toward injections or surgery long before they’ve had targeted, evidence-based rehab.
3. Under-prescribed physical therapy
Insurance caps PT visits, pays poorly for long appointments, and often constrains therapists to “generic low-back pain protocols.”
True spine rehab requires precision, coaching, time, and individualization—not 8 minutes of Theraband exercises.
4. Painkillers instead of root-cause analysis
Opioids, muscle relaxers, and steroids can mask pain but rarely solve anything.
5. No one teaches the patient how to move
Most back pain is aggravated by everyday mechanics:
How you get out of a car
How you bend to tie a shoe
How you lift groceries
How you sit at work
These habits matter more than an MRI ever will.
Torre Prime was built to fix exactly these failures.
The McGill Model: The Gold Standard for Spine Longevity
Stuart McGill, PhD—arguably the world’s leader in spine biomechanics—has shown that most chronic back pain improves through:
1. Removing the painful triggers
Not with rest, but by identifying which movements cause the pain.
2. Rebuilding stability
The “Big 3” (McGill curl-up, side plank, bird dog) are foundational.
Not flashy, but incredibly effective.
3. Teaching spine-sparing movement patterns
Hip hinge
Neutral spine
Bracing
Power breathing
These are longevity tools.
4. Progressive loading and resilience
A spine that is strong, stable, and well-conditioned is a spine that lasts.
No surgery required.
No injections.
No unnecessary imaging.
Just science, coaching, and disciplined precision.
This is the essence of how Torre Prime approaches back pain within the broader longevity framework:
Build the body. Build capacity. Build resilience. Build the future.
Why Back Pain Is Different for Different People
A special section for Straight Men, GBQ Men, and Women
Back pain doesn’t show up in a vacuum. It interacts with lifestyle, culture, identity, expectations, and stress patterns. Torre Prime recognizes these nuances—because personalization is central to longevity.
For Straight Men: “Strength ≠ Ignoring Pain”
Many straight men have been conditioned to “tough it out,” ignore early symptoms, and push through mechanical flaws until something tears, spasms, or breaks.
Common patterns we see:
Weekend warrior injuries
Poor hip/ankle mobility from desk jobs
Heavy lifting with poor mechanics
Avoiding medical care until pain is severe
Belief that surgery is the “fix”
What they need:
A science-driven, ego-free approach that rewrites movement patterns, rebuilds true core strength, restores mobility, and gives them back confidence in their body without the “take a pill and go” culture.
At Torre Prime, we emphasize:
Performance-based spine health
Stability work as strength, not weakness
A long-term “decathlon mentality” over quick fixes
For GBQ Men: “Your Body Is Central to Your Identity—Protect It”
Many gay, bisexual, and queer men live in environments where physical expression, sexuality, aesthetics, and performance all intersect. Back pain affects:
Confidence
Sexual expression
Energy
Fitness identity
Emotional regulation
GBQ men also face unique stress pathways (Minority Stress Theory) that increase muscle tension, sleep disruption, and systemic inflammation—factors that amplify pain.
Common patterns we see:
Tight hip flexors/glutes from high-intensity training
Sedentary desk work + nightlife cycles
Stress-driven bracing patterns
Postural imbalances from aesthetic-driven training
Fear of losing physical capacity or sexual vitality
What they need:
A longevity-driven model that accounts for biomechanics, stress physiology, sexual health, and the cultural expectations placed on GBQ men’s bodies.
Torre Prime specializes in this—because this is your community’s space in the program.
For Women: “Back Pain Isn’t ‘All In Your Head’”
Women are too often dismissed or minimized in traditional medicine. Back pain is written off as:
Stress
Hormones
“Weak core”
“Just part of aging”
Women face unique contributors to back dysfunction:
Pelvic floor imbalances
Pregnancy-related changes
Hormonal shifts
Osteopenia/osteoporosis risk
Hypermobile joints
Undiagnosed sacroiliac dysfunction
What they need:
Precision assessment, not dismissal.
Strength development, not patronizing explanations.
A longevity program that honors how women’s bodies actually move, age, and adapt.
Torre Prime has now expanded to fully include women—and this is exactly why:
Women deserve more than the insurance-driven standard. They deserve science, respect, and results.

Longevity Medicine vs. Anti-Aging Aesthetics: What’s the Real Difference?
Most people who “want to look younger” aren’t actually chasing youth—they’re chasing vitality, confidence, and a sense of control over their health. But in today’s wellness landscape, two very different industries often get blended together: Longevity Medicine and Anti-Aging Aesthetics. - Gabriel Felsen MD
Why the Distinction Matters—for Everyone, and Especially for Gay, Bisexual & Queer Men
Most people who “want to look younger” aren’t actually chasing youth—they’re chasing vitality, confidence, and a sense of control over their health. But in today’s wellness landscape, two very different industries often get blended together: Longevity Medicine and Anti-Aging Aesthetics.
At Torre Prime, we work with all adults who want to live longer, stronger, and more connected lives—and we offer a dedicated space for gay, bisexual, and queer men who often face unique physiological and social stressors that mainstream healthcare rarely accounts for.
Understanding this difference isn’t just semantic—it changes what’s possible for your life, your healthspan, and your sense of agency.
Part 1: What Is Longevity Medicine?
Longevity medicine is evidence-based, preventive, deeply individualized medical care designed to:
• expand healthspan (the years lived disease-free)
• prevent the chronic diseases that drive most suffering
• preserve physical and cognitive function over decades
• optimize metabolic, hormonal, emotional, and social wellbeing
• add quality to your life—not just years
It follows a structured, physician-guided model similar to the Torre Prime approach:
Sentinel → Compass → Forge → Temple → Lighthouse → Mirror → Flame.
The focus is on assessment, precision diagnostics, and long-game planning.
Longevity medicine includes:
• Advanced labs and biomarker mapping
• Cancer-screening risk stratification
• ApoB-first lipid strategy and cardiovascular prevention
• Cognitive decline protection and Downstate recovery strategies
• Zone 2 and VO2max training
• Strength, power, and stability training (Centenarian Decathlon)
• Sleep architecture optimization
• Nutrition personalized by metabolic response
• Emotional health, relationships, and stress-load mapping
• Social connection design
• Hormone assessment and optimization only when appropriate
It’s built on measurable science and clear goals—not the fear of aging.
Part 2: What Is Anti-Aging Aesthetics?
Anti-aging aesthetics aims to modify appearance, not biology.
This includes:
• Botox, fillers, neuromodulators
• Laser treatments
• Peels, microneedling
• Surgical procedures
• Hair-removal or hair-restoration treatments
• Skin tightening and smoothing
These treatments can be confidence-enhancing, useful, and safe when done well. But they don’t address:
• metabolic dysfunction
• cardiovascular risk
• inflammatory pathways
• mitochondrial aging
• muscle loss
• cognitive decline
• sleep fragmentation
• social disconnection
• emotional burnout
• longevity-relevant hormone patterns
They treat surface phenotype, not root-cause physiology.
Part 3: Why the Confusion Happens
Most people know what Botox does.
Few people know their apoB, their zone 2 threshold, or what a CAC score actually predicts.
The aesthetic world is visible and immediate; longevity medicine is slower, quieter, and more transformative.
Both matter—but they serve different human needs.
At Torre Prime, we’re not anti-aesthetics. Aesthetic treatments make sense for many people. But they’re not a substitute for medical longevity.
Part 4: Why This Difference Matters Especially for Gay, Bisexual & Queer Men
This community often lives with:
• higher minority stress load
• elevated cortisol and autonomic imbalance
• higher rates of sleep fragmentation
• higher risk for metabolic and cardiovascular issues
• unique sexual-health patterns
• culturally driven body-image pressures
• high social emphasis on youthfulness
• community-driven appearance norms
Anti-aging aesthetics often becomes the first stop, when what’s truly needed is a deeper medical foundation.
Longevity medicine provides:
• metabolic resilience
• strength and joint protection
• heart-attack and stroke prevention
• cognitive and emotional stability
• sexual vitality over decades
• hormone pattern optimization when appropriate
• sustainable energy
• extended quality years
This is not about chasing youth—it’s about protecting the body you want to live in.
Part 5: How to Decide Which You Need
You might be a good fit for longevity medicine if you want to:
• feel stronger, clearer, more energetic
• prevent disease long before symptoms appear
• improve sleep, metabolic health, sexual vitality
• reduce inflammation and injury risk
• build a decades-long physical foundation
• enhance confidence from the inside out
You might be a good fit for aesthetic care if you want to:
• soften lines
• improve skin texture
• reshape or enhance specific features
• address visible signs of aging
• boost self-image through appearance-based change
Many people benefit from both, but the order matters:
Aesthetics layered on top of a healthy foundation looks better, lasts longer, and reduces risk.
Part 6: Why Torre Prime Focuses on Longevity First
Because no aesthetic treatment can compete with:
• well-regulated inflammation
• healthy mitochondria
• stable blood sugar
• strong muscle and powerful joints
• a resilient cardiovascular system
• deep structured sleep
• a nervous system not living in threat mode
• a life filled with connection and meaning
That’s why Torre Prime exists for everyone—with specialized expertise for gay, bi, and queer men who’ve historically been underserved in preventive medicine.
We don’t sell youth.
We teach you how to build a durable, vital, connected life.
Closing Message
Aesthetic medicine can enhance confidence.
Longevity medicine changes your life.
When these two worlds are understood clearly, you can choose the path—or the combination—that aligns with your long-term wellbeing.
If you want to explore where you fit, Torre Prime offers a welcoming, inclusive consultation space for anyone ready to build a healthier future.
