“Severe back pain/herniated disc.

PT allowed me to avoid cortisone injection or surgery.

Initial progress was spot on.

I owe a debt of gratitude to Nick.

Thank you!

I am fully recovered.”

“I was recommended to investigate the McKenzie Method for my recover, especially as my pain had greatly increased and did not seem to be improving.

The PT folks I was seeing at that time recommend that I check you all out as practitioners of this method. Although eventually we all concluded that a follow up surgery to replace my disk is necessary.

I have much more confidence that I will be able to live a life pain-free, or much reduced.

At the moment I can stand straighter than before, can drives for a short distance if necessary, and better manage my own pain w/o opioids.”
