Скачать или смотреть Microdiscectomy Patient Testimonial | Sebastian Rivera, M.D.

For Sharon Howell, a patient of Sebastian Rivera, M.D., a board-eligible orthopaedic spine surgeon at Orlando Orthopaedic Center, a microdiscectomy is just what the doctor ordered to get her back to doing the things she loved.

A microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat herniated discs in the spine. It focuses on removing a portion of the damaged disc that may be pressing against spinal nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness. A microdiscectomy is typically recommended for individuals experiencing severe pain and limitations due to a herniated disc when conservative treatment has not worked for them.

"I was in a wheelchair for six months and couldn't go anywhere," says Sharon. "I can go anywhere I want now. I'm not walking with a cane or even a walker, nothing."

Sharon says Dr. Rivera is very kind and treated her like he would his own mother. He went above and beyond to get her the treatment she needed and she is grateful for his care.
