Denise’s Back Pain is Behind Her

“I got my life back. The life I wanted to have.”

When she went from running half marathons to struggling to walk around the block, Denise Patocka knew it was time to see someone for her back pain. But after an initial opinion from another source suggested that she’d never regain her full range of motion, she put off any treatment. However, the pain never went away, and when it kept her from being fully present for big family moments, Denise decided it was time to see what her options were at OrthoNebraska. Now, thanks to surgery with Dr. Porter, her back pain is behind her, and she’s living life to the fullest.

Hear more from Denise about how back surgery has allowed her to focus on what’s really important.
