"It began with a tingling in my right hand, and an intense pain in my shoulder blade. And I have a high tolerance for pain. With my background in the medical field, (I was a surgical technician who went back to school and recently opened my own Aesthetic Medicine practice), I knew it was a nerve issue, and that once it's gone, you can't get it back.

 

The progression of it became intense with repetitive motion. I fatigued easily. I got to the point where I couldn't move. Funny, two years prior when I came in for a consultation, Dr. Hilgenhurst predicted that "you'll be back in when you can't move". And that's what it took.

 

I knew about Dr. Hilgenhurst's reputation, and frankly, I wouldn't trust just anyone with a needle, in this case, to be placed in my neck. His technique is phenomenal, and that's because of his extensive training. He was trained by hand placement long before all of this wonderful new technology arrived, so he doesn't rely on the equipment alone.

 

I see Dr. Hilgenhurst about every 6 months or so. I will get an injection in the afternoon, and by the next morning, I'm in great shape. He hits the target every time with exact precision. My pain goes from an 8 to a zero overnight. He's just brilliant."

"I had severe back pain and leg pain. Some days, I couldn't even crawl out of the bed, my pain was so excruciating. I couldn't drive; I couldn't get my groceries. I was taking so much medication and had undergone three back surgeries. By the time I was referred to Dr. Hilgenhurst, I felt like I had been through it all.

 

Dr. Hilgenhurst was so helpful. He spent a lot of time with me in his office, explaining everything that he was recommending. I was a bit scared, but he answered my every question. Once I went through the initial procedure, the relief was not immediate, but when it came, it made a total difference in my everyday life.

 

I really don't feel pain now unless I overdue it in the yard - I do love my yard work. Now I can mow, plant my flowers and bushes. I've got my garden and my life back!"

"I was actually born with no cartilage between my vertebra, and some of the vertebra overlap so I have bone-on-bone. I've dealt with this pain all of my life and then one day, I got out of my truck and just went to the ground. I couldn't move my leg; I had broken my tailbone and 8 vertebrae. Even after back surgery I was still in so much pain; I couldn't walk, I couldn't play with my daughter.

 

I started getting spinal injections at the age of 17. The pain just radiated down my right leg. I'd been to 10 or 11 doctors for spinal injections before I met Dr. Hilgenhurst, and he is the only one to get it in the right spot. I've been seeing him for a year and a half now, needing injections only about every two months or so.

 

When you are in pain every day, it's tremendous how it affects you. You are in a bad mood, you are irritated all the time, you get agitated really easily. Now that my pain is being managed with these injections, I feel normal again. My family is so much happier because I'm not in pain every day. For me, it's been life changing."
