Thumbs up

I am happy to see the spine doctors are watching the DVD too! Last year, I spoke briefly to Dr. Nick DiNubile MD, the orthopedic surgeon and author of the “Framework” health education series. His new book may be helpful to those of you hoping to avoid surgery; or for others well into their recovery: Framework for the Lower Back: A 6-step Plan for a Healthy Lower Back.

Thank you, Dr. Nick, for your supportive words describing the film. And one more BIG thank you to the patients interviewed in the film – you helped all of us tell the story! If anyone is interested in his book, the second edition is here.

After watching the DVD, he offers this assessment of it:
“Getting Back on Their Feet, a DVD by Richard Longland, is a wonderful documentary that follows seven patients through their struggles and successes with back surgery, with an emphasis on disc replacement. Longland, a disc replacement recipient himself, portrays the complexities of lower back care, non-operative and operative alike, including the toll it takes on individuals’ lives. I recommend this DVD to anyone suffering with chronic back lower back pain, especially those contemplating any type of lower back surgery."
Note: I have no business affiliation with Dr. Nick or any other doctor, though sometimes I wish I did!
