Back pain has been a part of my life for decades but recently became much worse. My everyday life was totally ruined. No walking, lifting, playing with grandchildren, unable to travel, do simple household chores without excruciating pain. Then Dr. Chris Heck performed his magic! No pain!! I am not exaggerating. I drove myself to Birmingham and back home to Auburn for my 6 week checkup! The only discomfort I occasionally have is due to some arthritis and a couple advil take care of it. I am traveling, enjoying my grandchildren and even back at doing the laundry! I do not hesitate to recommend Dr. Heck. Do not live your life in pain or wait so long that the surgery becomes more complicated. Dr. Heck’s minimally invasive surgery was amazing!
