Dr. Zapf and this caring team have been there for me and my spinal health since late 2013. He is skilled at supporting patient-informed spinal health and I highly recommend him when considering non-surgical options for lumbar-related disc issues specifically. Several surgeons were eager to treat my case and other medical professionals were eager to treat the pain and symptoms only, but Dr. Zapf guided me to see the long-range effects of my spine health and under his care, I avoided surgery for three bulging discs and stenosis. Years later, I also sought his consult and care for what he identified as piriformis syndrome. I was pain free and mobile within a handful of visits for that issue!
Weekly, I am thankful that I trusted my body and gave it time to HEAL and avoid unnecessary surgeries. It takes time to heal the spine, but it's a whole unit that requires our care and respect - my lifestyle was forever altered and I still do exercises and stretches that I learned through Dr. Zapf, which ensures that my spine is cared, years after being symptom free. read more
