I love this Doctor!!! He is a rare gem...shall I say genius? Yes!
I have had severe and sometimes incapacitating lower back pain for a year. I thought the pain was due to my weight gain, and sudden lack of working out, but I went to see a chiropractor for a few months before seeing Dr. Ingber, as I had experienced relief from chiropractic work in the past. The chiropractor was good, and I had some relief, but I was not getting consistent relief and my back would still go into spasm sometimes.
I had this nagging feeling that there was something other than Scoliosis and weight gain causing my lower back pain.
After what I would call an extremely thorough exploration and investigation of my current back pain symptoms, my health and family history (live, in person interview with the doctor), I was highly confident I was in superb hands. I thought to myself, this guy is going to help me.
By being generous with his time, by being willing to get in-depth information from me and by asking the right questions, Dr. Ingber helped me remember that I took a really bad fall a year ago, which had completely vanished from my memory. Thanks to the Dr's diligent and comprehensive questioning, I remembered that after I took the fall, my back went into spasm. I brushed the spasm's off and did not seek treatment, and a week later the spasms were gone. However, they slowly and insidiously came back 6 mos later, and I never made the connection between my fall and my lower back pain spasms and pain. Dr.Ingber was so brilliant to make the connection.
I have been seeing Dr.Ingber for a few months now, and I also see his physical therapist (in-house) and I have had great great relief. I felt immediate results/relief after my first session with the Doctor, and I continue to improve every day.
Next up: carpal tunnel, which Dr. Ingber has had great success in treating as well.
I highly recommend Dr.Ingber and would not trust any other doctor with my back, and other relative ailments.
(Also a huge plus is the kindness of his staff. Sasha the office manager, is extremely calm, helpful, accommodating, and good natured). read more
