Herniated Disc (Bulging Disc)

Christopher Jarrin

Upon meeting Dr. Cunningham and his team, I felt like I was at the right place with the right people to fix my L3 - L4 lumbar herniated discs with a microdiscectomy. Dr. Cunningham put my mind at ease and we concluded that after 3 steroid injections and six months of sciatica pain in my leg and back, that a minimally invasive surgery was the solution. Mickey and Tina helped me schedule the meetings and surgery date.

Dr. Craig and his team examined me on my pre-surgery checkup. Dr. Cunningham’s PA Brenda was very thorough with the details of the recovery period and PT, while keeping in touch with me every step of the way with the easy-to-use MyHSS app.

It’s been four months since the surgery and the pain's gone! The PT exercises are helping greatly and I’m excited about going out again. Many thanks to HSS’ valuable team who got me Back in the Game!
