\nI have always listened sympathetically to friends and families who have back issues but I had no idea how difficult and extremely painful it can be. In 2012, right after I moved I experienced the agony first-hand. I had some back aches due to unpacking but nothing that I thought was serious. Then, one weekend, I sat down and was unable to get up. The pain was beyond description. Suddenly I was a complete invalid – unable to even go to the bathroom without complete support. With a young son and a husband who always travelled I was in a panic. I desperately did not want to call an ambulance and go to the hospital.
\n
\nI knew from other friends and family this would likely lead to back surgery, maybe even multiple back surgeries.
\nLuckily for me, a friend contacted Joan Law from Steps & Providence and she literally saved my health and sanity. Joan was amazing. She conducted a Home Therapy session, assessed the situation, gave me detailed instructions on how to stabilize my back and let it heal. She was always available for reassurance whenever I had issues during the first few frightening days.
\n
\nOnce my back stabilized, I went to her clinic for physical therapy. With the clinic’s state-of-art equipment and her expert advice, my back recovered as quickly as humanly possible. Since then, I have referred friends to Joan and they have been equally impressed with her knowledge, expertise and pro-active care. Additionally, all back sufferers should see a physical therapist FIRST to see if there are methods to heal and strengthen the back, since painkillers and back surgery should really be the options of the last resort.
