Overcoming the Chronic Pain of SI Joint Dysfunction: Michael’s Success Story
Michael struggled with chronic pain from undiagnosed SI joint dysfunction for over a year, severely limiting his ability to enjoy life. What used to be an active lifestyle filled with adventure had become a sedentary existence of constant pain. Despite having undergone a lumbar fusion surgery, Michael had not found relief from his symptoms and relied on pain medication to help him cope.
Out of options and desperate for relief, Michael turned to Michael Brown, DO, a renowned specialist in pain management at UCHealth. After a thorough examination and review of his medical history, Dr. Brown diagnosed Michael with SI joint dysfunction – a condition that often mimics the symptoms of spine-related disorders.
Realizing that traditional treatments had failed Micahel in the past, Dr. Brown recommended the LinQ SI Joint Stabilization System, a revolutionary, minimally invasive procedure developed by PainTEQ.
Michael’s History of Failed Treatments
Michael had undergone nine surgeries in his lifetime – all of which he believed contributed to his ongoing pain. Before LinQ, one of Michael’s surgeons performed a lumbar fusion procedure, believing Michael’s pain stemmed from his spine. However, since the true source of Michael’s pain was his SI joint, his lumbar fusion was also a failure.
Michael Chooses LinQ
Michael was initially skeptical about the LinQ procedure because of his medical history and previously failed treatments. However, after weighing his options and discussing the risks and benefits with Dr. Brown, Michael decided to proceed with LinQ.
The procedure – which took less than an hour – was successful, and Michael immediately noticed a significant improvement in his symptoms. He can now move more freely and engage in activities he had previously been unable to do.
He is optimistic about his future and looks forward to living a more fulfilling life. Michael is grateful to Dr. Brown for suggesting the LinQ procedure and to the team at PainTEQ for developing such a groundbreaking procedure. He can now enjoy life’s simple pleasures, and he knows he made the right decision in moving forward with this innovative treatment option.
LinQ: Designed to Treat Chronic SI Joint Dysfunction
LinQ offers a new treatment option for patients with chronic SI joint pain. By placing a single LinQ allograft into the SI joint, the procedure is designed to provide long-term stabilization and pain relief. LinQ uses a minimally invasive approach, requiring only a minor incision in the lower back.
LinQ has been shown to result in fast recovery times, as well as reduced pain and discomfort following the procedure. The majority of patients are able to return home the same day and can often resume their daily activities within just a few weeks. However, patients should be aware that there may be restrictions on certain activities in the initial recovery period. Therefore, closely following the doctor’s instructions is essential to ensure the best possible outcome.
