Eye on Health: Minimally invasive procedure frees Beacon patient from debilitating back pain

Amy Nussbaum with her family today.

Amy Nussbaum lives a life not unlike many others. She has a job, a family, and she maintains an active lifestyle.

But there came a day when the list of things she needed to do, and wanted to do, had to be put on hold. It started with pain and back spasms. “I never really knew when it was going to happen; it wasn’t this big moment where I had this injury,” Amy said.

It became progressively worse, eventually causing her so much pain that sometimes it even hurt to walk.

That’s when a friend told her about Dr. Neal Patel at Beacon Medical Group North Central Neurosurgery.

After finding the source of Amy’s pain – sciatic, inflamed nerves from a herniated disc, Dr. Patel offered Amy a minimally invasive treatment option that has helped her return to her normal life. Discover how Amy reclaimed her life through Beacon’s compassionate care.
