I was referred to Lider in 2021 by a patient of his after re-herniating a disc I had had surgery on back in 2014. I unfortunately re-herniated that disc (brushing my teeth go figure), after recovering from a severe wrist injury. I saw several specialists at Cedars, got an MRI and was told under no uncertain circumstances I needed surgery, probably a fusion. Lider has changed my life. Before seeing him, I believed that I was destined for a life of grumpiness, fear of travel (due to pain caused by sitting too long), and unpredictable pain around every corner. It didn’t happen overnight, but his methods work. I never had the surgery, and within 6 months of seeing him (twice a week visits to be fair) I had reduced my pain to before my second severe herniation. Within a year 75% less pain than after my previous surgery. Now, two years later I’m pain free 99% of the time. I never had that surgery.
