5 Weeks After X-Stop Low Back Pain Surgery Patient Walks the LA Marathon


David began to experience weakness in his legs, over a period of 2-3 weeks it progressed to the point that he was having trouble just walking across the room. He went to his primary care physician and David was referred to other Doctors. The other Doctors were able to get David back on his feet but he still had pain and limitations. David had been very active his entire life. And now that he was retired he wanted to spend his time pursuing athletic endeavors and now he could not. David was very despondent, as he had done some interesting athletic things such as riding his bike across the US, competed in triathlons, and has run every LA Marathon since it started. David said it was a very sad time for him. His Doctor referred him to Dr. Hamada. David said, It was a wonderful day, Ill never forget it because I went there thinking my problem was not severe enough to warrant an actual back surgery, and Dr. Hamada said we can fix you up, we can give you your life back, we can address this in a way youll be very very surprised at the improvement you can attain with out a lot of post operative recovery time going by.

What is a good dance style to learn after a back surgery?

I’m getting a back surgery over the summer, so it will take a while for me to get back into dancing. But once I do, I would like to try something new (I currently take Flamenco). Any ideas?

Can I return to gymnastics after back surgery?

I used to be a gymnast but stopped a few years ago. I never competed but was in advanced classes and such. Right before memorial day I had spinal fusion surgery on my L4, L5 S1 for a grade 4 spondylolithesis. I don’t expect to be back to my normal self, but I’d like to get back into the gym and work on some skills I lost. I don’t expect to throw a back tuck but I’d just like to regain some flexibility and possibly a handspring.
