“I am 26-years old and was dealing with severe back pain, I was evaluated by two seperate spine surgeons who wanted to perform a two level fusion on my spine. There is no way I am going to have a fusion at 26 years of age. I underwent consultation with Dr. Kowalkowski who offered me interventional treatments along with rehabilitation and a spinal cord stimulator trial eventually. Nine months out I can say my back pain is 80% improved. I have been able to lose 35 pounds and I continue to be the person I used to be without a spine fusion. I am glad I came here.”
