Anthony Isadore came into the Illinois Back Institute with severe sciatica pain. He re-injured his back while bending over and picking up some items. When he first came in his pain level was a 9 out of 10. He is now coming to the end of his therapy and has ZERO pain. He feels no pain in his sciatic nerve and is not worried about feeling it in the future.

Alan Itzkowitz came into the Illinois Back Institute after having spinal surgery. He had a laminectomy done on 2 of his discs (L4-L5). The surgery seemed to relieve his symptoms of pain going down the front of his thighs and quads caused by spinal stenosis. His MRI showed he was also suffering from a bulging disc and herniated disc. Alan now feels he can do everything he wants to do with ease. Everything is a lot less painful. When we asked Alan if he had a goal at the beginning of treatment and he said, “Yes, I did have a goal and that was to wake up in the morning and not be sore and I’ve met that goal.”

William Rolfes started suffering from lower back pain in high school after injuring himself while playing water polo. He went to different doctors over the years and tried different treatments. Recently, his lower back pain increased to a pain level between 8-10. “My goal when I first started treatment was to alleviate the pain that I was under. I’ve been able to achieve that,” said William. “I’m getting stronger, much more flexible. I am able to do more without becoming fatigued or feeling pain,” said William. He is so confident in the success of his treatment that William has set an even larger goal to achieve an open water swim in the ocean on his next vacation.

Erin Blievernicht was working as a teacher and also a server on the side. One day she woke up with soreness in her right lower hip. Her orthopedic doctor sent her for an MRI, which showed that she was suffering from a herniated disc in the l5-s1 area. When she first came in her pain level was at an 8 out of 10 on bad days or at a constant 4 daily. Erin is now at the end of her treatment at Illinois Back Institute and has ZERO pain. She has completely stopped taking painkillers and just got cleared to go to the gym.
