After suffering over 20 years with a supposed back sprain (Washington WC) Dr. Adcox correctly identified my low spine as fused from a previous injury. PT, lumbar injections have helped significantly. We are fortunate to have him here in Homer. he has helped many of my friends too. Bravo! by Mark on Nov 5th, 2013 I had slipped off a tractor in a rain storm onto the drawbar of our spreader on my fathers horse farm. I was 17 years old, unable to bend for nearly three months or sit in my classes at school. In time and after a few years of high school sports I felt not too bad...then a car wreck in 1992 this time almost a year to recoup. I was told that after the wreck I needed to get L4 and L5 fused my response was No Chance! This year I strained my back working, the shooting electrical pain stayed in my left leg. Sitting was very painful. I was scheduled for an MRI. It had been recommended by many friends to "take a hot shower and some ibuprofen and eventually it would slip back into place while you are sleeping". After Dr. Adcox showed me the MRI immages I knew that the recomdations from my well meaning friends could never help my situation, not ever. I was offered a number of options and chose surgery. The day before my scheduled fusion surgery I watched some people discussing their post surgery experiences on YouTube ... I called the office with the intent to cancel! I had some concerns answered by the staff and some reassurance. I proceeded with the scheduled surgery. All I can say is that about an hour after recovery I was walking the halls of the hospital. I was able to stand up straight without pain in my back. The electricity shooting down my leg was gone as well. It has been thirteen days since surgery now. I had some pain mostly muscle cramping but have been taking my meds as prescribed and keep ahead of the pain. Over the last few days I have had little discomfort and returned the walker that was loaned to me prior to my surgery. In my past I did not opt for surgery and lived with the problem for almost 35 years. I just did not feel confident with surgical successes for this type of injury. I look forward to returning to construction work in the spring. I am most thankful to Dr. Adcox and his team for the changes this has already made in my life! No Regrets! May God bless you! - Sincerly, Mark A.

Good Doctor -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mar 3rd, 2011 He was not in hurry to prescribe surgery for my problem. We tried other options first and I never felt forced into anything. He is very caring and good at what he does. His staff is awesome as well.
