Accomplishments

    Since 2002 I have suffered from back pain. What started out as over worked and job induced trauma or wear and tear over time turned into debilitating pain leaving me unable to work for periods at a time. I have suffered through 20+ years of physical therapy,injections, radio frequency ablations, prolotherepy, ALIF spinal fusion surgery, and nothing would touch the real pain generator. I spent 20 years on narcotics for the pain and for the last 15 years I could point to the exact spot that I had pain and each and every doctor, nurse practitioner, would tell me thats not where my pain was and I couldn't really know for sure. Then a PA finally listened to me and said that the Intracept procedure would help if nothing else would. I am grateful everyday for her and her insight. I had three levels of Intracept and I now have the life that pain had robbed me of. I now want to focus my skills and share my knowledge with others that they may not have to suffer as long as I did. Life is too short to suffer when this procedure can give people back their lives and loved ones.
