REAL PEOPLE, REAL STORIES
Meet Bob
When Bob had spinal fusion after rupturing his back in 1996, his doctor told him he would have “some issues 20 to 25 years down the road” as the vertebrae on either side of the fusion deteriorated.
But Bob wasn’t that lucky.
A few years after his back surgery, he slipped and fell at work, cracking several ribs and causing more back problems. Another surgery — this one to alleviate spinal compression — followed, but over time, the pain grew worse.
Nura Understands Your Pain
Eventually, despite a regimen of prescription medications, the pain was so bad that Bob had trouble getting out of bed, dressing himself, and going downstairs to start his day. His suffering was further compounded by worsening disc degeneration and Failed Back Surgery Syndrome, which intensified over time.
More than once, he wound up in the emergency room needing morphine. “I lost two or three years of my life to that pain,” Bob said.
Then Bob’s ex-wife told him about Nura. And at his first visit, Bob could sense something was different.
“Everyone there, from the receptionist to the doctors, cared about me as a person. I wasn’t just a number. They stood beside me as I went through hell and high water,” fighting for workers comp coverage for his injury.
Nura approached Bob’s pain conservatively, trying different medications, steroid injections, nerve ablations, and a spinal cord stimulator. Relief was intermittent.
Eventually, in the latter part of 2020, Bob trialed a spinal cord stimulator. The results were dramatic.
Two weeks after the implant, he brought dinner to his daughter’s family, telling her she “might have her old dad back” while enjoying renewed attention from his beloved grandchildren.
“I realized one day that this is how normal people feel,” he said. “At work, they noticed I was smiling again.”
“I can never thank everyone at Nura enough for what they did, how grateful I am. They’re fighters, and they never gave up. It meant so much to know I wasn’t alone.
“I owe my life to them.”
