Nerves are the superhighways of our bodies. Their job is to transmit, receive and monitor all information throughout our body. In other words, they are the wires that ensure all parts of our bodies are functioning and properly communicating.
I came to STAR because of severe pain that made it so I could hardly stand up. An MRI showed I had a compound fracture to my L3, so my son located several doctors who could treat my pain without spinal surgery. After my consultation with Dr. Fortin, I was so at ease with his knowledge and expertise that I ended up canceling my consultation with the other doctor since I felt I didn’t need a second opinion. Within a week of my appointment I was able to come back in for a kyphoplasty and have my fracture repaired with bone cement. By the time I was in recovery the bone cement already hardened, and I felt immediate relief and had no difficulties standing afterwards.
