Why MDT Before MRI

Back in 2015, this quote was printed by the McKenzie Institute. "I have never felt more convinced that providing an MDT exam first just makes sense."

"I was taking 20 pills a day to control the pain and it wasn’t really working. By my 8th session I was off all pain meds. When I returned to the doctor he said my MRI showed severe herniation of two discs, and the only way to fix it was surgery. He didn’t believe that I could have improved that much and offered me cortisone shots which I refused." - Martha (Ex Surgical Candidate)

This is why we do what we do!

Your story is really hurtful, anyway it's a good help for others about cortisone injection side effects and bad experience.
