I started having back pain one year ago, but I always pushed through my pain because I had recently started my own food truck business. I began having extreme pain in my leg and foot and I went to specialists in Victoria who performed various diagnostic tests to try and figure out what was causing the pain in my foot. One of the doctors decided to perform an MRI on my low back and it showed that I had stenosis and a herniated disc which could possibly account for the pain in my leg and foot. He said that I should see a spine specialist. The babysitter that I use for my 4-month-old recommended that I go to Houston to see Dr Francis. He had performed her back surgery and he came highly recommended by others in Victoria. I was very impressed with Dr. Francis and his staff from the very first visit. He was very thorough and the surgery went very smooth. I am back to running my business and being a mom. I would highly recommend Spine Associates to my family and friends.
