Special Advertising Section LIFE SHOULDN’T BE PAINFUL. When neck and back pain alter your quality of life, there are options. For Judy Clark, back pain had become a part of daily life. Even walking through a shopping mall was a difﬁcult task—she would have to sit and give her back a rest every ﬁve minutes. While the pain’s severity changed by day, it was always there, and for 25 years, Judy accepted it. Finally, she made a life-changing decision. Relief for life After sending her MRI results to Laser Spine Institute, Judy learned she was a candidate for minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery. She and her husband agreed she should forgo a spinal fusion that was likely to leave a large scar and require a lengthy recovery time. Instead, they made the trip to Laser Spine Institute in Tampa, Fla. “I couldn’t live like this anymore,” she says. “[The pain] had really diminished my quality of life.” “Everyone we talked to made me feel like I was their only patient,” she says. “It’s a very, very nice facility, and the people are wonderful.” The cause of her pain Judy, of Youngsville, Pa., can point to the moment more than 25 years ago when her pain began. She was home with her 6-monthold daughter, and when she bent over to pick the little girl up, she couldn’t stand up again. “I had to crawl to the phone,” she recalls. She sought out chiropractic care, and while the visits often provided immediate relief, it Even more important, the surgery was successful. In fact, Judy could feel the difference the same day of her outpatient procedure. “The doctor gave me detailed postsurgical instructions, and I was sure to follow his advice,” Judy says. “That weekend after my surgery, I was out walking. It was unbelievable.” Nearly two years after her endoscopic spine surgery at Laser Spine Institute, Judy says she is happily pain-free. “I feel the best I’ve felt since I was a teenager.” And she’s taking advantage of every moment. She started her own quilting business. She joined a gym and exercises regularly and, as a result, has lost 16 pounds. “I go for long walks with no pain,” she says. “Normal everyday things were painful. Now, I think, ‘I get to get up and clean today!’ Because I don’t hurt.” And you shouldn’t hurt anymore either. No matter where you live, lasting relief from chronic pain is now more accessible than ever thanks to Laser Spine Institute’s nationwide locations and complimentary MRI review offer.

Finally, she decided it was time to reclaim her life. She went to her physician for some tests and, ultimately, an MRI, which showed a herniated disc. Judy’s physician referred her to a surgeon in Pittsburgh, but after a family friend recommended Laser Spine Institute, Judy decided to call them for another opinion. She learned the team of specialists at Laser Spine Institute had performed thousands of procedures to relieve pain caused by a herniated disc, as well as spinal stenosis, sciatica, bone spurs and spinal arthritis.
