PATIENT TESTIMONIAL
I’m a 77 year old retired physician. For 1 year I had severe sciatic back pain radiating from my right lower back to my right lower leg. I couldn’t walk more than 50 feet before the pain became severe. Dr. Georgiy Brusovanik performed surgery at Doctors hospital in Coral Gables replacing all the disk in my lumbar spine because the degeneration was severe.Procedure was done in two stages.The surgery was very successful.My recovery each time was shorter than i expected.I am now able to walk my dogs up to 12 city blocks per day.I am very pleased with the care i received and feel that Dr. Brusovanik expertise and kind manor helped me to achieve the success i had.

ABOUT Back Pain
When patients present with back pain it’s very important to obtain a solid diagnosis. Keep in mind that back is made up of bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, discs, nerves, and all that can cause pain. A physical exam is essential, and it’s important to have a detailed history. I’ll frequently order an MRI to see if we can exactly detail the problem.
RELATED EDUCATIONAL VIDEO
Most patients can avoid surgery via conservative/ non operative means such as injections and physical therapy. Few patients that do not have a lasting improvement with those modalities can benefit from a minimally invasive disk replacement or a minimally invasive fusion – just depends on the degree of their degenerative change.
