Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy Provided Complete Pain Relief To Judge Moore “Judge Thomas Moore was stunned after he received his first PRP therapy treatment.

He could not believe that with one outpatient procedure he would have complete relief from his chronic low back pain. Following three additional visits to receive treatment, Judge Moore finally (after years of suffering) was pain free and able to enjoy the active lifestyle he once had. Every patient has a story – we’re all humans and will inevitably feel pain at some point in our life. Judge Thomas Moore was gracious enough to open up and share his pain story with us.As a judge for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Thomas Moore had an enormous amount of responsibility. His travel and work schedule was aggressive and trying to do it all while being in chronic pain made it very challenging for him to successfully perform his job.The reason for Judge Moore’s pain was because of a freak accident. He damaged four lumbar discs from a slip and fall incident his own bathroom. The diagnosis was multiple vertebral compression fractures which at the time had to be treated with back surgery. The decompression of his spine from the surgery allowed him to walk again but the chronic pain persisted. He tried everything from steroid injections, facet joint injections, and prescription pain medicine. His growing dependency on pain medication worried him:Pain medications were a necessary evil for me … when I was under the influence of pain pills, it was very difficult to focus” – Judge Thomas MooreThe pain wore on.

John suffered from chronic discogenic back pain which can be debilitating when going untreated.Unfortunately, the pain in his back progressively got worse.

How Herniated Disc Pain Ended Tonya’s Career in the Military “Tonya, former military engineer for the United States Army, knows what it’s like to live an active lifestyle. The rigorous, mentally draining schedule of a cadet at the United Stated Military Academy in West Point, NY is not for the faint of heart.” - NSPC Team Continue Reading How Herniated Disc Pain Ended Tonya’s Career in the Military "Tonya, former military engineer for the United States Army, knows what it’s like to live an active lifestyle. The rigorous, mentally draining schedule of a cadet at the United Stated Military Academy in West Point, NY is not for the faint of heart. She also participated on the track and field team! Saying that Tonya led an active lifestyle was an understatement – but unfortunately, it was halted because of severe back pain.She was unable to ignore the pain any longer and sought medical attention. The excruciating pain she felt radiating throughout her body was being caused by two bulging discs – which eventually became full-blown disc herniations.You lose it all… And despite my attempts, I just couldn’t do it anymore. My body was ruined and as a result, so was my career in the military.”If you have suffered the pain of a herniated disc, then you know just how miserable Tonya felt. For someone who loves the outdoors and being active, the worst possible thing was not being able to enjoy life with her husband and three kids. In a last attempt, she decided to see Dr. Assaf Gordon with National Spine & Pain Centers. Dr. Gordon recommended getting her started with epidural nerve blocks to calm the pain.Dr. Gordon was the first to be optimistic about my situation and his recommendation worked!

How Herniated Disc Pain Ended Tonya’s Career in the Military "Tonya, former military engineer for the United States Army, knows what it’s like to live an active lifestyle. The rigorous, mentally draining schedule of a cadet at the United Stated Military Academy in West Point, NY is not for the faint of heart. She also participated on the track and field team! Saying that Tonya led an active lifestyle was an understatement – but unfortunately, it was halted because of severe back pain.She was unable to ignore the pain any longer and sought medical attention. The excruciating pain she felt radiating throughout her body was being caused by two bulging discs – which eventually became full-blown disc herniations.You lose it all… And despite my attempts, I just couldn’t do it anymore. My body was ruined and as a result, so was my career in the military.”If you have suffered the pain of a herniated disc, then you know just how miserable Tonya felt. For someone who loves the outdoors and being active, the worst possible thing was not being able to enjoy life with her husband and three kids. In a last attempt, she decided to see Dr. Assaf Gordon with National Spine & Pain Centers.
