LinQ to Life: Dr. Pope Helps Patient Find Relief After 57 Years
John had been dealing with chronic back pain since he was injured in a high dive accident at 16. For 57 years, he had tried everything to find relief, including chiropractic care, pain medication, and physical therapy – but nothing worked. Eventually, his pain got to the point where it significantly impacted his quality of life. That’s when he found Jason Edward Pope, MD, DABPM, FIPP, of Evolve Restorative Center, who recommended the LinQ SI Joint Stabilization System. Now, John is finally living life free of pain.
John Faces a Lifetime of Pain
John was no stranger to pain. At 16, he was injured in a high dive accident when he landed on his back in an attempt to avoid hitting another diver. The impact of the fall damaged the ligaments in his lower back and spine, resulting in chronic pain. For over a year, he was bedridden and had to be home-schooled. From then on, John’s pain was always a part of his life.
Due to his chronic pain, he struggled to keep a steady job, had difficulty socializing, and sleep was often elusive. As the years went on, John’s pain worsened. He was forced to use a wheelchair or cane and could no longer drive. It got so bad that John was ready to give up on life. However, all of that changed after making an appointment with Dr. Pope.
57 Years Later, John Is Finally Pain-free
John’s life changed forever when Dr. Pope introduced him to the LinQ procedure by PainTEQ. After Dr. Pope successfully performed the procedure, John was finally able to experience pain relief.
Now, John can do things he hasn’t been able to do in years. He can go for walks, drive long distances, and even climb a ladder. He looks forward to finally being able to swim again but promises to stay away from the high dive.
“LinQ changed my life,” John said. After struggling to keep a positive attitude for years, he can finally enjoy his life free of pain.
What Is the LinQ Procedure?
The LinQ SI Joint Stabilization System offers a minimally-invasive option for patients suffering from chronic back pain from the SI joint. By placing a single allograft about the size of an almond into the SI joint, patients may find long-lasting relief from their pain by improving joint function and stability.
The LinQ procedure is done through a single, small incision, and patients typically go home the same day. In addition, LinQ takes a posterior approach away from any major nerves or large blood vessels, allowing for a faster recovery time. Through this minimally-invasive procedure, patients may avoid the risks and complications associated with traditional fusion surgery and return to their daily lives faster.
