Low back journey to recovery's Story

I’ve been a patient of the Centeno-Schultz clinic since late 2021. I decided to explore this option instead of surgery. I had a consultation to see if I could be candidate to address lower back pain due to herniated disc and left knee pain (had 2 surgeries to repair a radial tear on my meniscus). Dr Pitts is my doctor and I can’t say enough about his professionalism, quality of care and connection to make sure I fully understood all the information about their treatments to facilitate making a decision. To give some perspective, my lower back pain limited me from standing, sitting or even walking for extended periods of my timeI. I’ve had 2 PRP/PLM procedures 6-mo apart and my lower back pain has reduced significantly to the point where I’m back to activities prior to my injury. I’m still dealing with some residual pain but we have a plan to address that. Left knee has been a little more challenging (especially after having had 2 surgeries) but we also have a plan. The road to recovery can be frustrating but I remain optimistic, especially after witnessing my results. I highly recommend the Centeno-Schultz clinic and Dr Pitts. I truly believe our bodies have an immense capacity to heal if we give them an opportunity. Surgery can be an option and in some cases it is; however, if it can be avoided with interventional orthopedics then it is worth at least having a discussion about it.
