Servicios para el cerebro y la columna vertebral<\/a> para Southcoast Health. Bajo el cuidado del Dr. Philips, Chris se someti\u00f3 a dos procedimientos transformadores.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEn la primera, el Dr. Philips hizo una peque\u00f1a incisi\u00f3n en la espalda de Chris y pudo afeitar la hernia discal que presionaba los nervios que bajaban por su pierna. En cuesti\u00f3n de horas, la intervenci\u00f3n hab\u00eda concluido y Chris estaba de vuelta en casa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A pesar de cierta hinchaz\u00f3n inicial alrededor de la incisi\u00f3n, s\u00f3lo necesit\u00f3 un d\u00eda y medio de medicaci\u00f3n analg\u00e9sica. \"Me dijeron que no fuera a trabajar durante diez d\u00edas despu\u00e9s de la intervenci\u00f3n\", dice Chris, \"pero me sent\u00ed tan bien que volv\u00ed a la oficina despu\u00e9s de s\u00f3lo un fin de semana de recuperaci\u00f3n en casa\". Quince d\u00edas despu\u00e9s de la operaci\u00f3n, pudo volver a correr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La segunda intervenci\u00f3n se centr\u00f3 en la desalineaci\u00f3n de las v\u00e9rtebras C5 y C6 del cuello, causada por un accidente de snowboard hace 25 a\u00f1os. El Dr. Philips hizo una peque\u00f1a incisi\u00f3n en el cuello para fusionar estas v\u00e9rtebras y estimular el crecimiento de hueso nuevo y eliminar el dolor de cuello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Una vez m\u00e1s, la intervenci\u00f3n se realiz\u00f3 en el mismo d\u00eda y Chris volvi\u00f3 al trabajo al d\u00eda siguiente, sin dolor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Fue m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil que sacarme las muelas del juicio\", dice Chris. \"No se me ocurre ning\u00fan efecto secundario negativo\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoy, Chris ha vuelto a correr y a hacer las cosas que le gustan. \"Me alegro de hab\u00e9rmelo hecho\", dice. Y a pesar de las sugerencias de buscar atenci\u00f3n en Boston, Chris opt\u00f3 por la experiencia del Dr. Philips y el equipo de Southcoast Brain & Spine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"No hac\u00eda falta ir a Boston para las operaciones. Recib\u00ed atenci\u00f3n experta aqu\u00ed mismo. El Dr. Philips y su equipo hicieron un trabajo maravilloso. Me encant\u00f3\", a\u00f1ade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
