Experienced debilitating back pain for years.
Had back surgery in ‘22 which helped until new issues rose. I dreaded picking up items, lifting pots and pans, getting in and out of a car, anything involving my lower spine. From the moment I came out of anaesthesia, the lower back pain and related leg pain were gone totally! Can’t praise this enough.! Everyone lovely to deal with. I’m thrilled.
Dr Kong is a wonderful caring doctor. He has helped me tremendously with my back issues. He is continuing treatments and we are hoping for long term relief. I trust him with my life. Dr Kong is simply the best!.
