Dr. Thakral listened closely to my description of back pain and prescribed a cautious approach to a solution including an mri, a diagnosis followed by three different treatments. As he predicted, over a series of several weeks, my condition improved to the extent that there are no additional treatments planned at this time. If the condition returns, we will address it then. In any event, we will do a follow-up appointment in 4 months.
