Watch John's Story

For more than a decade, John had suffered with debilitating back pain. In August 2022 he underwent his third operation, a minimally invasive robotic-assisted spine surgery at Englewood Health. Waking up from surgery, he was able to sit up in bed and even walk to the bathroom—the first of many life-changing moments. The improved recuperation period, he says, has allowed him to get back to his daily life, feeling physically and mentally stronger every day.
