脊柱外科:瑞克的故事
Rick was among the eighty percent of Americans who live with back pain. But when he began experiencing numbness in his leg, Rick knew it was time to seek help. 他去找了杰森·汤普森, MD, Orthopedic Medical Director of 脊柱中心 at 十大正规网赌软件. Dr. 汤普森 found that Rick’s vertebrae were markedly out of alignment, crushing his nerves. "Without surgery, he ran the risk of irreversible damage," he explains. Today Rick lives pain free and is doing the things he loves, including his greatest joy—being a dad.
