“No one wants to have back surgery. Many people endure years of pain because they want to avoid surgery… or at least delay it as long as possible. I understand, but we have techniques today that can make such a dramatic difference—reducing or eliminating pain, restoring flexibility and mobility. I know that the term “back surgery” is scary, but it’s my job to help my patients understand their options and help them.”
