I am 57 and have always exercised regularly, but I was at the point where I was taking pain medication daily and regular physiotherapy wasn’t helping to relieve the pain. I was doing an exercise program designed for people with back […]
“I have been dealing with chronic back pain for the last eight years. I’ve seen countless clinicians, physios, chiros and massage therapists. I have had IMS, Prolo injections and PRP injections.

“I had read The Back Mechanic and worked through some exercises on my own, but I found that I needed a bit of extra help. I was very fortunate to find Dr. Camisa nearby. I had been to other physical therapists in the past without success. With something as complicated as back injury I felt […]
“I went to Scott with major back pain for an assessment. During the back assessment he made me feel very comfortable while talking through topics I did not know much about so that I would understand everything more clearly.
