“I experienced a back injury last September. I really never had any back problems before. I leaned over awkwardly while helping my daughter, and I herniated L5 and S1 (that was my diagnosis). It was actually so bad I wasn’t able to walk that night. My husband had to carry me to bed and we actually had to call the paramedics to carry me out of my house.

I went for traditional treatment at first.. I went to my physical therapy, which worked, up to a point. But then, it reached a point where it was actually making it worse. I was having horrible muscle spasms and was taking Vicodin everyday. I couldn’t even get out of bed without my Vicodin and 600 milligrams of Ibuprofen. Then, I heard about Doctor James on the radio.

The first thing that really impressed me was the staff. Everyone was so helpful, kind, and supportive. It was just an environment where you feel like they are very in tune with you. I had an exam that was very thorough, almost an hour long.

It’s been approximately three months, and today is my last day of treatment. When I first came in, I would rate my pain at about ninety percent (90%). This morning, I rated it at, maybe, one-tenth of a percent (0.1%).

My life is just so much better - three months ago, I couldn’t hold my daughter in my lap or play catch with my boys, and now I have returned to most of my normal activities.

I just give the highest recommendation to Dr. James and his staff, and if you need help with your back and just getting your life back, this is the place where you can get some help.”
