This is Dr. Richard Busch.
Spinal surgery is permanent. Hardware can’t be undone. And once your spine is fused, the stress simply shifts to the levels above and below — often creating new problems later on.
That’s why I’ve spent my career helping people avoid unnecessary surgeries through the DRS Protocol™.
We decompress the spine, reduce inflammation, restore function, and stabilize the supporting muscles — giving patients a chance to get better without screws, rods, or plates.
Before you commit to surgery, commit to understanding your options.
Hi, Dr. Busch here.
Cold weather here in Northeast Indiana tightens muscles, stiffens joints, and makes spinal problems feel 10 times worse. If you're already dealing with back or neck pain, winter is not your friend.
But the DRS Protocol™ can be.
Our system is designed to gently relieve disc pressure, restore mobility, and keep the spine functioning properly — even in the harshest months of the year.
Pain doesn’t have to be part of your winter routine.
🎙 NEW EPISODE: From Middle School Side Hustler to Head Chef — Meet Layla Newton. Listen on Spotify 👉🏼 https://bit.ly/4ait9Bv
This week, Dr. Busch sits down with his youngest podcast guest ever — Layla Newton, Head Chef of Fort Wayne’s only true Prohibition-style restaurant, The 19th Hole.
Layla’s story is nothing short of remarkable.
She went from selling cookies and treats to classmates in 8th grade, to walking downtown Fort Wayne with baked goods in hand, hustling like a true entrepreneur — long before she could drive.
From there, Layla followed her passion into the kitchen, ultimately traveling to Indianapolis in 2023 to assist her uncle — acclaimed Chef Marcus Daniel — at the prestigious Perfect Bite Competition, plating 200 dishes and discovering that culinary creativity was her calling.
Today she runs the kitchen of one of Fort Wayne’s most unique dining experiences, and her journey is only just beginning.
Dr. Busch digs into her upbringing, work ethic, culinary inspiration, competitions, and the big goals she has for her future.
🔥 It’s fun, inspiring, and packed with talent, hustle, and heart.
Come meet the young chef everyone will be talking about.
❄️ “When temperatures drop, your circulation drops too.” – Dr. Richard Busch
Cold weather puts extra stress on your blood vessels, joints, and immune system — and many of our patients feel it this time of year. That’s why Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can be such a powerful tool in December.
Clinical data shows HBOT can:
✅ Improve blood flow and microcirculation by up to 30–40%
✅ Reduce inflammation markers significantly
✅ Accelerate tissue repair at the cellular level
If you’re feeling stiff, achy, slow to heal, or just run-down, now is the perfect time to give your body the oxygen it deserves.
Hi, this is Dr. Richard Busch.
If you’re dealing with chronic back or neck pain, chances are you’ve tried everything — stretching, injections, pain pills, even other chiropractors — and yet the pain keeps coming back.
There’s a reason:
You’ve been treating symptoms, not the cause.
The DRS Protocol™ was designed to fix what’s actually wrong — disc pressure, nerve compression, spinal instability — the real source of your pain.
No surgery.
No medications.
Just a proven, targeted system that helps your body heal the right way.
🎥 Before You Choose Spinal Surgery… Please Hear This
Hi, this is Dr. Richard Busch.
In this short video, I want to talk to you about something I’ve seen far too often over the last 30 years:
Neck surgery that creates more problems than it solves.
When metal screws, rods, and plates are placed in the cervical spine, the mechanics of the neck are changed forever. The hardware doesn’t fix the underlying issue — it simply restricts motion and puts stress on the discs above and below the surgical site.
For many patients, this turns into a lifelong cycle of stiffness, degeneration, pain, and additional surgeries.
That is why I have dedicated my career to helping people avoid unnecessary surgery and long-term medications whenever possible.
The DRS Protocol™ and our spinal treatment programs are designed to:
✔️ Reduce pressure
✔️ Restore function
✔️ Stabilize the spine
✔️ Help your body heal — without hardware
If you’ve been told surgery is your only option, I encourage you to watch this video — and then come see us.
You deserve to understand all your options before making such a life-altering decision.

There is hope — without the scalpel.

Hi, this is Dr. Richard Busch.
Factory workers and distribution teams are the unseen heroes of the holiday season — lifting, stacking, bending, and moving the products everyone else is waiting for.
But repeated lifting, long shifts, and cold weather can take a toll on your back.
If you’re feeling the pinch, numbness, or shooting pain — it’s NOT just fatigue. It could be spinal pressure or disc injury.
That’s where my DRS Protocol™ comes in — a proven, non-surgical solution to treat the cause of back and neck pain.
You carry the load for everyone else.
Let us help carry yours.
🎄 Happy National Christmas Lights Day!
From Dr. Busch 🤣
Fellas… it’s that magical time of year when we climb rickety ladders, lean too far to one side, and swear that this will be the year the lights magically untangle themselves....🛑 Spoiler Alert: they won’t...and hopefully you hung them when we had Temps in the 50's!
So a friendly reminder from your favorite spine doc:
✨ Hang the lights. Not yourself off the roof.
✨ Keep your balance. Not your chiropractor on speed dial.
✨ And for the love of Christmas cookies — bend with your knees, not your ego.
BUT… if an injury does sneak up on you (looking at you, “I don’t need help, I got this” guys 👀)…
The DRS Protocol might be exactly what your winter-aching back needs.
❄️ No surgery
❄️ No downtime
❄️ No holiday season spent flat on the couch
➡️ Call TODAY: 260-471-4090
We’ll get you shining brighter than the lights on your roof!

🎙 NEW EPISODE: Todd Mitchell – From the School of Hard Knocks to Fort Wayne Business Powerhouse
In this candid and energizing episode, Dr. Busch sits down with Fort Wayne’s own Todd Mitchell — a man who built his reputation the old-fashioned way: by grinding, learning, and outworking everyone in the room.
Todd shares his early days growing up in the School of Hard Knocks, the lessons that shaped him, and how those same lessons fueled his rise into one of Fort Wayne’s most respected business entrepreneurs. From overcoming setbacks to seizing opportunity, Todd dives into the mindset, grit, and daily habits that helped him build and lead multiple successful ventures.
They talk business, leadership, family, and the real cost — and reward — of chasing something bigger than yourself.
If you're an entrepreneur, a dreamer, or someone who just appreciates straight talk from someone who’s lived it… you don’t want to miss this one.
Tune in now!

Hi folks, Dr. Busch here. As we finish up with the month of November, I always remind patients: winter pain doesn’t have to be your normal. If you’ve been dealing with herniated discs, sciatica, stenosis, or chronic low back pain, the DRS Protocol may be the solution you’ve been searching for.
Our proven, non-surgical approach works by treating the actual cause of spinal pain — not masking the symptoms. My team and I have helped thousands of patients avoid surgery and regain their quality of life, even during Indiana’s coldest months.
If you're ready for real relief, let’s get started.
This is Dr. Richard Busch, and I know November kicks off one of the busiest times of the year. The last thing you need is chronic back pain slowing you down while you're preparing for family gatherings, holiday travel, and winter chores.
The DRS Protocol focuses on three key components:
Decompression to take pressure off your discs,
Reduction to restore proper function, and
Stabilization to strengthen the spine for long-term results.
If you want to enjoy the holidays without relying on medications or facing surgery, it’s time to take action.
