PLM with Dr. Russo
I had a PLM/platelet lysate procedure with Dr. Russo at Columbia Pain Management for degenerative disc disease in my lower back, and the results have been truly life-changing for me. Before the procedure, my lower back issues were affecting my quality of life and making everyday movement difficult. Dr. Russo was knowledgeable, thorough, and clearly experienced with this type of regenerative spine treatment. What impressed me most was that he didn’t just treat me like another patient—he understood the problem, explained the procedure clearly, and gave me confidence that I was in excellent hands. The procedure made a dramatic difference in my pain and function. My lower back feels so much better, and I am incredibly grateful. I would highly recommend Dr. Russo and Columbia Pain Management to anyone dealing with chronic lower back pain or degenerative disc issues who is looking for a thoughtful, highly skilled physician and a nonsurgical option. For me, this procedure was absolutely worth it.
