🎙️ The Back Pain Rant
Episode 1: The Journey Begins – Pioneering Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Hosted by Dr. Tony Mork, MD – Endoscopic Spine Specialist
In this debut episode of The Back Pain Rant, Dr. Tony Mork takes us back to where it all began — from his orthopedic training in the county hospitals of Los Angeles to becoming one of the early pioneers of endoscopic spine surgery.
Dr. Mork reflects on how he transitioned from open orthopedic procedures to the minimally invasive techniques that revolutionized sports medicine, and eventually asked the question no one else was asking: “Why not use this on the spine?”
You’ll hear the candid story of how he challenged the surgical status quo, faced skepticism from peers, adapted tools from other specialties, and ultimately helped shape a new path in spine care. Along the way, Dr. Mork shares the wins, the pitfalls, and the moments of clarity that drove him to innovate — not for fame, but for the future of patient care.
Whether you're a fellow physician, a patient curious about spine surgery, or just love a good origin story in medicine, this first rant sets the stage for what’s to come.
I'm Dr. Tony Mork and I run an Endoscopic Spine Surgery practice in Irvine, California and Naples, FL. I avoid a fusion when possible (which is most situations) and provide treatments that actually address the pain without taking an invasive approach.
Some of the conditions I treat:
- Disc Herniation
- Bulging Discs
- Spinal Stenosis
- Annular Tears
- Sciatica
- Facet Syndrome
- Foraminal Stenosis
- And more
