Herniated Disc (Bulging Disc)

Klara Mikelova

I was having really bad back pain once I returned to the US to play collegiate volleyball. My teammate recommended Dr. Wyss because she told me he is the best. Dr. Wyss was really nice from the very beginning. I felt really comfortable and that I was in really good hands. Once I got my MRI results back, it showed I had a herniated disc (L4-5). We came to the conclusion to have a epidural steroid injection right into my back. I saw results since day one. I was feeling much better and my functioning increased for better in volleyball. I'm really grateful for Dr. Wyss and Christine to help me to get me back to play the sport that I love.
