“Sure Enough, This Was My Life-Saver!”: Esteban Castaneda

September 7, 2016Solomon KamsonAll testimonials, Back Pain, chronic pain, Video

Esteban was determined to do well with his physical activities, including good performance on the job. However, despite his ability to perform, he suffered from severe back pain, “The pain gradually increased more and more,” Esteban describes, as time continued to pass.

With a strong desire to get rid of his pain, Esteban visited several doctors before seeing Dr. Kamson. “Other doctors told me ‘I can see a little bit of space between the spine, but be active…a pill will do,’” Esteban describes.

Tired of ‘masking the pain’ with ibuprofen, Esteban wanted to bring an end to his suffering. “I was desperate. I wanted to find out what was wrong with me once and for all,” he says. Fortunately, Esteban found the Spine Institute Northwest and met with Dr. Kamson for a consultation. “Sure enough, this was my lifesaver,” he says.

Esteban learned that he had been suffering from a pars defect, which may have been there since birth. After speaking with Dr. Kamson, Esteban desperately asked, “Is there a fix for this problem?”

“Yes, there’s a fix for it…and I can fix it for you,” Dr. Kamson confidently encourages.

After a successful lumbar procedure, Esteban found the relief he had been looking for, “I have no pain now…no crackling on my back, which was my biggest concern,” he says.

“This is the option,” Esteban encourages those who are suffering with chronic back pain. “I recommend others to visit the Spine Institute Northwest if they have back pain. It changed my life!”

Hear more of Esteban’s story, and why he recommends Dr. Solomon Kamson for those who suffer from chronic back pain.
