I have had chronic low back pain for about 45 years. I am a 67 year old female. On two occasions I have had bulging discs and sciatica, and that severe pain lasted about 4 weeks each time and left me physically drained. I have resisted surgery, as the doctors were not very encouraging about possible success rates. I have tried many treatments and some helped temporarily but not long term. I have been told I have degenerative disc disease and arthritis. I saw Christine Wood and after the first time I walked out of her office with the wonderful feeling that there is some hope for me. My lower back was not aching. I had a spring in my step — felt more energetic — and went on to the grocery store and did my errands without fatigue. I would recommend Dr. Wood to anyone who has a need for this treatment. She is the only PT I have seen who did hands-on treatment. The others I saw put me on exercise machines and did some body mechanics exercises but they did not do the hands-on treatment. I am so glad I have found this professional who can get results! DH
