“I was at the point that I could no longer walk without dragging the right side and I was using a cane.”
My name is Anna Bradley and I live outside of Lacey. I was a secretary for 25 years with the State. When I first came to the Pinnacle Spine Center, I was in a great deal of pain in my lower back and down the leg. I was at the point that I could no longer walk without dragging the right side and I was using a cane. I was walking like a question mark, bent forward, and I couldn’t straighten up. My dog, Missy, was very unhappy with me because we used to walk 2 miles a day. I had tried physical therapy and massage therapy without success and they were sending me to the orthopedic doctor, probably to be carved on. I certainly was not looking forward to surgery. Within three months of coming to the Pinnacle Spine Center, I no longer had pain, and I don’t take any pain pills. It didn’t take me long to get off the cane and I no longer ache. Now I’m back to walking 1-1/2 miles a day and I can visit with my neighbors and do the things I want to do. The best thing is I’m no longer in pain and I can walk quite a long ways now. Everybody is so great. I don’t know what I’d do without the staff. The doctor’s are wonderful but the staff treats me like I’m a queen. They really are good to me. I’m certainly glad I came and was accepted as a patient.
