Words From a Renowned Orthopedic Surgeon

“Back surgery – the risks are enormous. Infection, nerve injury, the failed back surgery where you have chronic pain for the rest of your life….”

“If I have a patient that comes in, I don’t care who they are, and they’ve got back pain or neck pain, before I would ever recommend that they had a surgery, a surgical procedure, an invasive procedure, even an epidural, an injection, I would recommend Spinal Decompression because there’s no downside to trying this and it works.”
– Dr. Timoty Kremcheck, MD Orthopedic Surgeon as seen on ESPN, HBO, USA Today and Sports Illustrated.
