“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 […]
“Hi Stu, I just wanted to send you a quick update. Mike has been fantastic. I am +90% better, and have adopted a much more thoughtful approach to exercise (big 3, walking etc).

“I went to Scott with major back pain for an assessment.

I was depressed, I couldn’t get out of my bed anymore because of the pain and both the orthopedist and the neurologist didn’t want to perform surgery on […]
My wife and I both suffered lower back problems several years ago. We were treated symptomatically, but little real progress was made in understanding and treating the underlying cause of our problems. PT, chiropractic, injections, medication, etc. provided a certain measure of relief, but long standing improvement and understanding of what to avoid were missing. […]
