Back on the Mat: Hear the comeback story of our 20 year old collegiate athlete after The Discseel® Procedure.

Then he discovered Dr. Michael Wolff of Scottsdale, Arizona – the first Master Instructor of The Discseel® Procedure. Thanks to Dr. Wolff’s care and expertise, Steiner had the biologic minimally invasive Discseel® procedure and is now 100% pain-free and back on the mat pursuing his dreams.

SHERRI’S TESTIMONIAL WITH BIOLOGIC THERAPY
Hi, my name is Sheri. I am 62 years young. I am one who has always been very active. I love to work out, swim, bike, hiking and travel. Approximately 2 1/2 years ago It became too difficult to do any of these activities due to pain and no one was able to pinpoint what the problem was. I’ve seen a back surgeon, sports pain specialist, and finally a neurologist who referred me to Dr. Wolff. I really liked him at the first visit. It was like someone was actually hearing me. He diagnosed my problem as tendonosis in both legs and treated me with PRP and Biologics. Before the procedure he told me that this was not a quick fix and it could take time for the tendons to heal. At about 3 1/2 months positive changes started and by five months I was pretty much back to normal. Today I’m pain-free. I am so grateful to Dr. Wolff and his staff. They were professional and very supportive. I highly recommend all of them. Thank you.

Nine World Marathons, Six Countries, One Incredible Achievement – Patrick’s Road to the Abbott Six Star Medal.
After years of pushing through injuries, our patient Patrick just accomplished something only a few thousand people in the world have done – completed all 6 Abbott World Marathon Majors (Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, and New York)! This incredible milestone would not have been possible without the expert care of Dr. Wolff whose PRP Regenerative treatments gave him the healing and strength to keep running towards this goal.

Don’t let a painful, bad back after a long-haul flight hinder your vacation. A keen yogi, Debbie was concerned to land in Phoenix, AZ suffering. That was until she was recommended to try EMSCULPT neo® at Southwest Spine & Sports. One 30-minute session and she was able to kayak, hike, rollerboot and cycle and enjoy everything she loves to do. Thank you Michael Wolff, MD. Debbie had a fantastic vacation.

I highly recommend traveling to receive Discseel® treatment from Dr. Wolff. Painless and easy. I’m so happy to be back doing what I love.
Six years after a discectomy surgery and in so much pain again it was preventing her running, playing baseball, hiking and biking, Rhonda travelled from Canada to Arizona for the Discseel® procedure with Michael Wolff, MD. 4 weeks later she is back climbing, mountain biking and happily doing everything she loves to do with no pain.
