Have you had or are you considering XLIF® surgery for back or leg pain? Are you curious how the patient pairing process works? Pairing pre-op patients with Patient Ambassadors who have had XLIF surgery is one of the most important and powerful things The Better Way Back® offers. Watch the impact it can have by seeing the story of Sandy and Alexandra in the video below.
Alexandra suffered from such severe back pain that it was difficult for her to walk from her car to her office on most days. After she visited the San Diego Orthopaedic Associates seeking help for the persistent back pain that made her life miserable, The Better Way Back staff paired her with a postoperative Patient Ambassador named Sandy. Not only was Sandy able to empathize with Alexandra, having experienced similar pain for years, but she was able to her experience with the XLIF procedure and recovery process. This helped Alexandra overcome her fears about spine surgery and undergo the XLIF procedure. The surgery helped relieve her intense pain and now she is back to exercising and walking as much as she wants!
Watch below as Sandy, Alexandra, and their spine surgeon, Dr. Maneesh Bawa, discuss the role that The Better Way Back has played in their lives.
