This is how I think about treating chronic low back pain that is originating from a lumbar disc.

And if you’re struggling, I understand your pain, as I’ve been there. It’s taken a lot of work, but I’ve found a lot of success over the years with my pain.

My approach to treatment involves a comprehensive strategy that starts with stabilizing the disc. Through physical therapy and possibly injections, we aim to alleviate pressure on the disc and surrounding areas. We also consider the overall health of the spine, addressing any affected joints, ligaments, and muscles with regenerative treatments like plateletrich plasma or stem cell therapies.

Since my latest treatment, I've experienced considerable pain relief and improved functionality. This journey is about more than my recovery; it's about offering hope and potential solutions to those suffering from similar chronic back pain. You're not alone, and there are effective paths to better health and comfort.
