Hi,
My friend is having some back problem since 2/3 years ago and his condition getting worse day by day.
He has met a few orthopedic specialist in a different hospital in order to get different opinion and they advise him to do an operation after he did a MRI scan.
I’ve looked at his MRI scan and it looks like exactly like pictures below:

My friend have a same problems as well. He went for operation. But some how, now he suffer pain as well if he get tired or exercises. So he went for acupuncture to keep him relax on the back muscle and leg numbness. The doctor that he went call Dr Kevin 017-3268578. He did provide door to door services. Because he is more specialist in stroke patient recovery treatment. The Back problems will not totally cure after operation.... can try acupuncture .
